Buchholz is Back

The Boston Red Sox announced on Sunday that Clay Buchholz will be returning to Boston to start Friday night’s game against the Toronot Blue Jays. 

Buchholz has been waiting a while for this call, and who can blame him?  The twenty five-year old has pitched phenomenal in Pawtucket, posting a 7-2 record with a 2.36 era.  On May 25^th, he nearly threw a perfect game, but had it broken up in the 9^th with a hit.  He finished the game recording a complete game shut-out.  Who wouldn’t want out of Triple-A with a season like that?    

Then again everyone playing in Triple-A wants out so that they can make it to the big leagues. 

But now it’s Buchholz’s turn, and I wish him the best of luck.  A roster move will be announced within the next day or so which means someone’s going back down to Pawtucket.  I’d suspect it would be Bates, considering Lowell is coming off the DL. 

Keep the Faith!
