2005 supplemental draft pick Michael Bowden makes his major-league debut with the rock for the RedSox, while Mark Buehrle gets the go for the South Siders. Dusty is the starter cleaner for the first time in his career. Yes, a four-foot thireen-inch second baseman who weighs about a buck-thirty-five soaking wet is bringing his laser show to the four-slot for Beantown. Cool.

Hell of a heads-up slide by Pedroia there.

Kid looks good tonight...and where is everybody?

More Pedroia magic on that jumping catch on the liner. He can do no wrong.
Labor Day vacations?

Now he's 4 for 4, singling through the hole on the right side. Jeez.

Ha. And they intentionally walk Pedroia.

Sweet win. Nice one to watch from beginning to end.
Pedroia is indeed a deity.

My computer completely died - can't believe I missed the laser show. God I bet Pedroia is still jawing about it.

Just got home from a Norfolk Tides minor league game; can't believe Pedroia batted cleanup. His ego is going to be sky-high after that.
And hey, he's leading the AL in batting average now!

My favorite moment was actually when Pedroia evaded the tag sliding into second. When he got the safe call from the ump, he jumped up and...exuberant doesn't even begin to describe it.
On a side note, Ozzie Guillen's man-love for Pedroia is hilarious.
