Well gotta love that the Sox are now tied for first place. I honestly didn’t think they had it in them a few weeks ago, but this team is coming together at the right time. Winning the division would be absolutely huge since they would miss California/LA/Anaheim in the first round and instead play the winner of the Chicago-Minnesota race.
The pitching has bee fantastic of late. Lester, Beckett and Daisuke is a great 1-2-3, and I’ll take them to battle in any playoff series.

Saw the very end of Zambrano’s no-no the other night. Former Commodore Darin Erstad was the final out and if I didn’t know better I’d say that Darin helped out the pitcher on the final pitch. That ball was waaaaaaaaaaaay outside, and he swung at it. Should have been ball four. With his team down by five Erstad might have just wanted to get the ballgame over, but I can’t see a pro hitter giving an AB away. It was just kinda weird. Still, great game by a great pitcher. The guy looks a little like Big Papi on the hill. I’m rooting for him and the Cubbies in the NL and holding out for a Sox-Cubs World Series.
Why not, right? I mean all signs are pointing toward the coming apocalypse anyways. That would just be the cherry on top.

Picking against the spread is hard, whether you know about football or not. Both me and the kids went 5-9-1 in our first week. Not a stupendous start by any means.
