Buehrle does nothing to change my mind about our chances with a one-two-three first, bringing to mind Mr. Hulten's second-favorite word, businesslike.

We don't hit in the top of the second and Buehrle puts a couple guys on, but who cares? The score doesn't change, and that's all that matters!

Same for the third. Shortstop Vazquez, up for the second time, leads off with a base hit, but then falls down trying to beat a sneaky pickoff throw by Josh Beckett. Adam Kennedy follows with his second hit. We then make two outs in a row. Oops. Way to go, guys.

Mark Buehrle erases that painful little memory with a perfect bottom half, but two of his outs were tallied against the pitcher Beckett and an outfielder who hits about as well as his pitcher, Alex Escobar. That's unfair to a man who hit .346 for AAA Buffalo last year, but he's still not very good, so screw 'im anyway. Looking at just who he was facing, I should be thinking, "Who the hell cares?" Instead, my head's in the clouds.

With that being the case, wouldn't it be a real pity if it started raining?
