...  It was not suprising that Clay Buchholz got bombed last night.  The only real mystery was how long he would go, and how manys runs he would be tagged for.  Again, the Red Sox hitters gave Buchy a nice lead, and again he pissed it away faster than a gambler on payday. ...

Due to the fact that Clay hasn't won since early May, some extra starts against Double A hitters could be the best thing for him right now... ...

Sox demote Buchholz after another pummeling Proving, yet again, that throwing a no-hitter and looking like Kevin Bacon...can only go so far. “That’s not good, [with] your expectations, to say, ‘Yeah, I think I’m going to get sent down,’ after each start,” Buchholz said. “But the last couple starts, it’s hard to think they can give me any more opportunities than they have in this stretch, especially with only a month and a half left in the season and the pennant race as close as it is now. “You’ve got to send guys out there that . . . you believe they’re going to go out there and ...

The scene at Hadlock Field this morning So Clay Buchholz has been sent down to Portland, presumably so he can work with his old pitching coach.

This year, he's struggled mightily with the Red Sox, chalking up a 6.79 ERA with a 1.76 WHIP. After being bashed around by the Orioles last night, he's heading back down to AAA. The worst part is, he sounds awfully defeated: ...
