Very Nice

I would just like to point out that Dustin Pedroia has gone 4-for-4 for the last 2 games and that is pretty freaking awesome. Have I mentioned lately that he's my favorite?

Also, Boston scored 8 runs in both games. Kotsay and Bay are fitting in perfectly, ground rule doubles and RBIs galore. They are in a very good place right now, as a team.

QotD (because, as you surely noticed, DP was batting cleanup tonight): During his briefing with the media, Francona said, "I'll never hear the end of this from Pedroia or Ortiz. Pedroia said it's long overdue, and Ortiz said he's retiring."
