Seattle isn't that good. Is it? Everytime the Sox head to Nintendoland they lose.
Yesterday Dice-K put forth his best effort to date and the Sox could not capitalize.

But it's OK. No, really it is. Today is my birthday; everything is just rolling off.

Losing three in a row is not as bad as losing say seven of the last eight, which is exactly what the Yankees have been doing.

Their savior has done nothing to help his team, either. Roger Clemens is 1-3 since rejoining the club. That's almost $6 million per victory for those of you keeping track at home. His WHIP is 1.48 and batters are hitting .284 against him bringing his ERA to a whopping 5.32.

A wise investment indeed.

Today, the Sox are celebrating my birthday. My present: a nine-game lead over Toronto. There will be no game.

However, it's a good opportunity for you fans to get your last All Star votes in. Voting ends today. Manny could use your help.

Speaking of help. After my birthday bash, Jason Varitek and some of the gang will be spending the rest of the day to raise money for charity at Varitek's Put Put challenge.

I was going to be there ($23 is a lot cheaper than a game ticket and chances are good you could get a closer look), but I have other partying to do.
