Pedro Done

Pedro pitched well enough to win tonight. Six innings, five K, one walk. He had a real tough 2nd inning, and his throwing error led to a run. In many ways he outpitched Ponson, but the Red Sox helped kill their offense so far with three double plays. It's 3-1 Orioles in the bottom of the 7th.

not to mention pokey bunting with 2 outs and leaving 2 on base.

Funny that you say he pitched well... people around here are about to jump off the Tobin Bridge. 0-162 here we come!

I thought he pitched okay. His arm slot looked off and he clearly didn't have his Pedro-esque control -- evident from the numerous balls sent all the way to the backstop. His velocity was still only in the high 80's. We don't expect to be hitting 95 like he was years ago, but he's most effective when he can crank it up to 93. But hey, it was a chilly night. I refuse to be worried unless he strings a couple of these outings together.
