I like Mark Buehrle. Aside from all the nice long fly balls he gave up, you can always count on him to be nice and quick. If he pitches against Roy Halladay, you can watch a whole game in 2 hours (1 1/2 if you fast forward commercials), but then you’d be watching Blue Jays-White Sox and why would you do that?

Bowden looked like Dice-K with 8 baserunners over 5 innings, but only 2 runs allowed. Luckily, Dice-K looked like Lester last night, so the bullpen was prepared. Congrats to the kid on his first major league win.

As for the offense, Dustin is en fuego lately. I love the Fenway crowd chanting MVP for him. This has to be the first time there’s been a 5′7″ cleanup hitter, right? He certainly provided protection for Big Papi. Speaking of Papi, correct me if I’m wrong, but is this two days in a row he has had an infield hit? I feel like the world is upside down, but you know what? I like it.
