Druggie debuts ...

... and loses.

Roy Halladay once again demonstrated his mastery of major league hitters, tossing a 4-1 complete game win over the Red Sox.

Paul Byrd, pitched decently in his Sox debut against the Blue Jays but not good enough against Halladay. He went 7 1/3 innings, giving up four earned on 10 hits. No walks, nor strikeouts. This was the first of three consecutive starts Bryd is slated to make against the Blue Jays. The Globe reported that would be the first time since 1958 a pitcher has made three starts in a row against the same team.

Competitors: The Twins and White Sox won; the Rays are losing.

Phillies: They're playing late again. I feel asleep before the conclusion of last night's game (Christine was dozing but woke up for the bottom of the 9th). The Phillies actually won a game, 1-0 over the Padres. I'm glad the game lived up to the stature of the two starters, Jamie Moyer and Greg Maddux.

Tonight, they're leading 2-0 in the 2nd.

Mets won again.
