Maybe Clay Buchholz needs a vacation

I'm not saying he sucks but I am saying that it seems like whenever he pitches, it's a crap shoot as to whether he's going to be good or bad.

Last night was no exception.

He started out okay but then seemed to give up around the third inning. Then, after a stern talking to by his imaginary friend, he came out and pitched like an ace. Then his imaginary friend told him to take it easy or something because he fell apart.

Granted, he lasted 6 innings but those innings were a roller coaster of good to bad to good to bad.

As for today's game, Joe Kelly finished up his stint on the DL and is back in the rotation. He started today's game and I was pretty impressed with his performance. He threw a no-hitter through 6 innings and had 2 outs in the 7th when the Indians finally got their first hit.

Not bad for a guy that just came back from a rehab.

If the Orioles win their game tonight, the Red Sox will remain one game behind them. If the Orioles lose, they will be tied for first place.

Let's hope the Orioles lose.


Time for an update on the current body count in the war between me and the chipmonks:
    Ol' Bess - 3
    Small Emergency Backup Dog - 3 (1 chipmonk, 1 mouse and 1 mole)
    Chipmonks - 0


    As you can see, I now have an assistant and let me tell you, she has a nose for critters.
    We have dubbed her "The Huntress".
This has been your updated body count in the war between me and the chipmonks.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled program.
