Buck the Stopper, Ace

Clay Buchholz is the ace. No question. Move over Beckett & Lester. Buck stopped the Red Sox latest skid with a 2-hit, complete game win over the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in Cleveland last night. Cody Ross delivered a 2-run bomb to center to back the great pitching performance. Will Middlebrooks was hit by a fastball in wrist & immediately left the game. Middlebrooks is another player the Sox can ill-afford to lose to the DL. It's been a crazy year, but there's still time since no one is running away with it & head to head battles are coming up with the O's & Yankees. Who knows, because I sure don't.
