Unlikely Hero Stops the Bleeding for the Sox

Clay Buchholz looks like he should be fetching beers for me at the Sigma Chi house during alumni weekend. Instead, this young lad skipped pledging entirely and became a full-fledged member of the Red Sox fraternity last night at Fenway.

After rocking Nick Marakis to sleep with a 77 MPH breaking ball to end the game, Buchholz was mobbed by his teammates. The little guy had tossed a no hitter in his second career start.

UK ROLLS OVER EKU

To make the night even better for me and Jordi, UK blasted EKU 50-10. So this is what it feels like to have a good football team???.... The giant killers, Kent State, will be a tough match-up next week but it's hard to not look past them. A date with little brother is looms just over the horizon.

Also, for those of you playing at home, Jordi is now 11 for 11 in Jumbotron appearances per game. Next week, we hope to have pictures as I attempt to pull off the double - Jordi AND Caroline on the big screen at the same time!
