Moment of Levity: The Big Picture

INERTIA

It's not that Clay Buchholz had a bad day during Boston's loss yesterday afternoon. Rather, he was better than he has been in nearly any of his starts since ascending back to the major leagues. It's just that he still wasn't good enough to win at home, with Justin Verlander outdueling him by shutting out the Red Sox. It wasn't really a fair result for Buchholz's performance, but it left his MLB career trending a lot like the ball in his glove: trending down thanks to inertia. (Michael Dwyer/AP)
