BOS 8, TEX 1: Nearly perfect
This is the Jon Lester every Red Sox fan expected this season.

Change can often be difficult. The Boston Red Sox lineup adapted quite easily.
Rocco Baldelli hit a two-run homer in the second inning. Then, in the the fifth inning, Baldelli crashed into a wall trying to catch a foul ball. That's exactly how Boston's game went as well. The Red Sox were on pace for a win with a 3-1 cushion over Toronto. Then, Ramon Ramirez hit a wall in the seventh inning.
Jon Lester has a case of the Dice-K syndrome.
Buy low, sell high. Brad Penny continues to fulfill, quite possibly, the oldest investment cliche ever.
Toronto may sit atop the A.L. East Divisional standings presently, but one thing is for sure. The Blue Jays haven't done anything against the teams that matter most.
David Ortiz is finally smiling again. And so is Red Sox Nation.
