Show a little more emotion, eh? Eh? C'mon now. Robot.

So. Win. Beat the Jays. All that. Excellent.

The Jason Varitek Revival Tour continues; 2-3, HR, BB, 3 R.

The Dustin Pedroia Laser Show hit Canada; 2-4, HR, 3 RBI.

Julio Lugo continues to not be in the lineup.

F. Coco had a solid game; 3-4, SB, R, RBI

I'm pretty ecstatic about Paul Byrd. Was it ace-quality? No. But this is exactly the kind of effort we want/need from Byrd down the stretch. Keep the curtain up. Don't beat yourself out there. Some other kind of encouraging phrase.

Wouldn't have minded Masterson having a little less eventful 7th; Oki and Paps did their jobs like it was last season.

The Other Sox are 0.5 GB in the WC. Angels and Orioles = no help. So tired of the MFR, though I kind of enjoyed that Rocco Baldelli had a good game. Sue me.

Tomorrow:

Jon Lester, baby. Innings and health bedamned. I want him pitching every game the rest of the season.
