Game time: 2:05 pm EDT
Scheduled starters: Daniel Cabrera (9-13, 5.08) v. Jon Lester (2-0, 5.67)
The game will be on NESN.
Boston weather: Noon observation at KBOS: Wind out of the southeast at 8 mph, visibility 10 miles, sky clear, temperature 68F, DP 47F
Forecast: A beautiful day for baseball! It should get to the mid to upper 70s. The winds are southeast now on the coast, and variable inland. Southeast is blowing in from right. I expect the winds to come around from the south to southwest by later in the game, which is blowing across from right to left/out toward left, but the winds will be light, and likely no factor.
Bring sunscreen...

WTF? We traded Buchholz to "Walpole"?

Jacoby! 
What's this about Ellsbury's lack of power? A double last night and a HR today. 
Man, these kids are ****ing good! The future is bright.

Yeah, but 2 hits allowed from Lester through 5?
Teh suck.
Teh suck.
I'm sorry, I know it's been said a million times now, but how awesome is it to see these homegrown guys come up and get it done. It's great. Seeing how I'm in the under-20 club at RSN, it's incredibly fun to see, as I never have experienced anything like it (an they don't make me feel old).
Torre just pulled a Tito and left Pettite in with 115 pitches, then C Pena hit a three-run jack. 5-1 D Rays

Haverhill's own Comeback Player of the Year!
Uh oh...
You would have figured that Lester was done after six. Hmph.

I think we all saw that one coming.
If only every rendition of God Bless America was that lovely.

We received some cryptic discussion about Gagne today. He's being rested for a couple days.
Youk suddenly reverts back to mid-August form - 4 K's in one game.
Please, Paps, close this one out.

Water!
This was one of those games where it seems like the Sox were in total control, but you look at the scoreboard and see a 1 run game.
6.0

Officially 6.0
Picking up a game on the Yanks with them playing TB at home is absolutely huge.
