Welcome Back.

This may not have been fully obvious but I adore Dustin Pedroia. I love that boy to pieces and I've missed him terribly. So, yeah, good job by Buchholz and Kalish but tonight was all about Pedey. It wasn't his best night at the plate and he might have lost a step going after ground balls (or it could have just been rust that prevented him from getting to the ball in the second) and his running seemed a bit slow (he would probably be faster if someone would just teach him to not run with so much tension in his back) but I don't really care. By just being, Dustin Pedroia makes me grin foolishly.

Plus, I get to bust out the Muppets.
