Dad,
Not only did Buchholz win last night, it's actually his 6th straight since joining the rotation at the end of August. And his ERA for those six wins comes to a tiny 1.32 which, as you said, definitely earns him the number 3 spot in the post season rotation.
As for Martinez, did you know his 23 game hitting streak tied Ted Williams for the longest hitting streak on the Sox? That's pretty impressive. But what really surprised me was that Williams' hitting streak was so short. Actually both Don Orsillo and Sean Casey, last night's NESN commentators, were also surprised by the stat.
Anyway, as you said the Buchholz win gets us closer to tying up the wild card and playing in the ALDS. Now it's onto New York and the evil empire. Can't wait for the weekend.
Jenn
