Sports Redux: Sports Smorgasbord

Lots to talk about today! (Especially since we had technical problems yesterday. Sorry.) Let's go chronologically, based on yesterday's action:

It turns out not every pitcher in the American League is as incompetent as those of the Rangers. Toronto sent ace and longtime Sox nemesis Roy Halladay to the Fenway mound last night, a day late, and he dazzled the Red Sox. Halladay went the distance, giving up only one run and seven hits, and spoiled a pretty decent debut by Paul Byrd, 4-1.

Due to rain, Friday night’s game was postponed. For those of you who had tickets, you can use them on September 13th for a day/night double header. Paul Byrd will make his debut in a Red Sox uniform tonight and look for Josh Beckett to pitch on Sunday. Who knows if these extra days off will work in the favor of Clay Buchholz, he’s had one miserable outing after another and we won’t be seeing him until he throw against Baltimore on Wednesday. Game time is at 7:05 and Roy Halladay, the human pterodactyl according to Robby Roadsteamer, will be on the hill for the Blue Jays.
