Some notes at the end of the first inning, with the Angels trailing 6-1.

-- The Angels' charter flight landed in Boston at 1:00 a.m. and they were at the hotel about 2 a.m. The team bus left at 10:45 a.m., so that gave the lads about seven and a half hours sleep, which is about three more than any Angels writer, myself included, got.

-- So that Clay Buchholz could make his Major-League debut and start the first game, the Red Sox traded Wily Mo Pena and cash sent to Washington for the ever-popular Player to be Named Later.

-- Buchholz started his career by throwing five straight balls. That initiated some boos in the crowd.

-- Gary Matthews Jr., who said this week that Red Sox fans were "drunk" and "obnoxious" received a louder boo than when J.D. Drew dropped Vladimir Guerrero's fly ball. Don't think the fans appreciated those comments, Gary. I don't know why. Just a suspicion.

-- David Ortiz's two-run first-inning homer gave him 20 for the year. It is his sixth straight 20-homer season.

-- John Lackey allowed four consecutive hits in the first, including Ortiz's homer and Drew's triple. And he allowed five extra-base hits. And, he threw a career-worst 46 first-inning pitches.

-- Personal coffee count: 3 cups.
