Lester Shuts Down Phillies
Jon Lester pitched a gem tonight in the city of brotherly love going seven shutout innings before turning it over to the pen. Okajima '08 looked like Okajima '07 and Papelbon shut the door to preserve the shutout. The speedy Sox stole 6 bases including one by Sean Casey! J.D. Drew came back to earth and went 0-4 but Coco is suddenly the new Big Papi. The Celtics crushed the Lakers for their 17th Championship, too bad Red couldn't be there to see it. All in all a good night...except for my softball team getting our first loss in a game where the other teams batter and our pitcher had words and both teams met in the middle for some pushing and shoving. Nothing like a near fight in slow pitch softball. For some fun check out Rob Bradford of the Herald running the Rocky steps in Philly below.

it IS too bad tha Buchholz was sent down... but Lester had a bumpy road to success also - don't count Bucky out yet.
I'll have a Sox on Deck update a week from today that focuses on Buchholz's progress.
With Masterson doing so well, I think it may be tough to get Bucky back up to Boston...
