Pedroia gets hot at the right time
Paul Byrd uttered the magic words this week. Not when he called Dustin Pedroia the MVP. No, it was when Byrd said, "As he goes, we go." That, especially on a star-laden team like the Red Sox, is the mark of a valuable player. (Boston Globe)

Rays survive 5-run late rally by Yankees
Scott Kazmir did his part to get the Tampa Bay Rays back on track. The All-Star lefthander allowed one hit in six scoreless innings, and the Rays' bullpen weathered ninth-inning home runs by Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez to beat the Yankees, 7-5, and avoid a three-game sweep last night in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Sox notch record 455th consecutive sellout
All 37,373 fans in Fenway Park were on their feet in the ninth inning, cheering a game-winning bunt by Jacoby Ellsbury. But there was more to cheer, too, and they had a part in it. With the team's 455th consecutive sold-out game at Fenway, the Red Sox tied the Cleveland Indians for the longest streak in major league history. (Boston Globe, 9/4/08)

Buchholz able to enjoy 'anniversary'
Failure always had been foreign to Clay Buchholz, and, at 21, he saw no reason why it wouldn't stay that way forever. He shredded Double A to the point that his pitching coach there later said, "a bad outing for him was 10 or 12 strikeouts in six innings." (Boston Globe, 9/2/08)
