Back In the AL--Peter

Well, Jenn, it's nice to get back to traditional baseball--non e of this inter-league stuff. I know we've done well at it, but somehow, it just ain't baseball the way it was meant to be played. Supposed to see the guys in the othr league only twice: All-Star Game and Series. Period. Anyway, the return worked fine tonight. Lester continued to look like Lester; had seven shutout innings without a free pass and got eight K's. Pap slammed the door for another Save after things got a bit tense with two gone in the 9th for Ramirez, Jake swiped a pair and JD just missed a cycle. Youk got a two-bagger,but was robbed of a homer with an amazing over-the-fence grab by the O's outfielder. Sox picked up another half game on the Stripes, who were idle.
