And because I found this as I was writing the entry...

Now that that's out of the way, real-life baseball. I was at Avenue Q yesterday, and during the intermission I discovered what had happened to Boston's staff ace (of 2007; Lester is clearly growing into the ace this year). Whoops, Josh, somebody knows you too well! Toronto always seems to light Josh up lately, and I almost wonder if they know his pitches well enough to wait on specific ones. Tonight appears to be an improvement in the starting pitching department, with Lester going seven strong, but it's important not to overlook Josh's issues with Toronto - perhaps someone should review the tapes and go over things with him. Is he throwing differently out of the stretch? Is he tipping his pitches, perhaps? Or does Toronto just have his number and the players all know what to look for?

Maybe, just maybe, the next time the Sox have a showdown with the Jays, Tito should shuffle around the rotation a bit so Josh doesn't have to throw against them. Because it might help...

Okay, Olympics time. I actually caught some baseball this afternoon, on an Olympics note. Why don't they show it more?
