Welcome back my friend.

Maybe he though Darnell McDonald was going to take him out.

Or he was ticked off about the fact that former President Logan is behind the Russians on 24.

Or maybe, just maybe, he remembered the Red Sox have committed to him the budget of Camaroon and would like to see a return on their investment.

Whatever it was, Daisuke came out tonight and went 7 innings, gave up 1 run, struck out 37 batters (I'm ball parking here, so this guess may or may not be totally accurate) and in general? He rocked.

Or it could have been today was my brother from another mother Josh and his beautiful wife Amy's 7th anniversary, they were at the game tonight, and brought the good luck mojo.

Whatever the reason, the Sox won 6-1, are breathing down the necks of the MFY and the Rays and the 2010 season?

It's officially on.
