John Lester threw a gem in his return to Fenway after a battle with cancer. It was good he drew the Rays and it's nice he pitched well,but by the end of the game it was overshadowed with a Red Sox win in the bottom of the ninth.

I'm pretty sure that Red Sox fans use the expression "here we go again" more than any other sports fans. We say it aloud. We think it. We feel it. And the combination of the Yankees' (who suck) play as of late and the Sox leaving men on base as of late has brought that here we go again feeling to the fore once more. So while it is hard to complain with a five game lead, and hard to say that this series with the hapless Devil Rays is important, it is important. I was listening to game last night and was giving the old here we go again by about the 6th. When Manny struck out in the 9th is was a full blown here we go again. Then, with a swing of the bat by Lowell it's tied and swings by The Captain and Crisp and it's over. Oh joy! Red Sox 2, Tampa 1. What's that? The Yankees lose 12-0 to B-more? Joy times 2.
