The Next Morning

After Buchholz dazzled Fisher Cat hitters last night and received a standing ovation, Fisher Cats manager Bill Masse had this to say in the Union Leader this morning: ""I think it's sad," Masse said. "We're not playing the Boston Red Sox. We're playing the Portland Sea Dogs. Unless you're from that area, you root for your hometown team. This is New Hampshire's team, Manchester's team and to see Clay Buchholz get a standing ovation was absolutely disgraceful." After the game Clay had this to say: "I didn't expect it, but it was nice."
