Take 2–that’s exactly what the Indians did to the Sox

Sitting here listening to John Danks pitch against the Indians, made me think about the yesterday’s double header loss to the Tribe. What is wrong with Phil Humber? Since his perfect game three weeks ago at Seattle, Humber’s ERA is a whopping 13.74. in two of those game, Humber has allowed 8 earned or more. [...]

Sox aren’t Dunn, know they can play with the Tigers

All spring the talk from outside observers was about the Sox competing with the almighty Detroit Tigers. Through 6 games I would say they are quite even.

Good news, bad news for the Sox over the past 2 days

It being May day had to have something to do with it, right. The 7-2 win over Cleveland is great, but to me the bigger story is Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel. [...]
