I'm almost superstitious enough not to post this, but I must say I've been happy how the Red Sox have been on a roll lately. Starting pitchers have turned it around big time.

Today begins a series with the Orioles, who, after a 6-1 start, have lost 11 of 13 games. Kind of the Bizarro Red Sox, who started 2-10 and now have won 8 of 9. Not to be confused with 7 of 9.

Clay Buchholz takes the mound for the Sox, and hopefully he can continue to dominate the O's - he threw a no-hitter against them in 2007 and is 3-0 with a 0.32 ERA in his last four starts against them. And, hopefully, he can escape this jinx.


Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
