Posted in If you were in Vegas and had the choice to put money on which Sox starter would get a win over the Orioles, would any of you have put cash on Dylan Axelrod? What’s the word? I guess surprising would be the one I am looking for, that Axelrod would be the guy to stifle [...]

The Birds peck away at the Sox, take 3 of 4

Sox do a lot of yard work in Toronto
Good news for the Sox as Paul Konerko will be back in the lineup on Friday. The Captain has been out the past few days after suffering a mild concussion against the Royals. Like I said a few writings ago, you can’t, you won’t keep Konerko down for long. I was watching Dwayne Wise the [...]
Sox get all A’s this weekend, and on the home stand
Yeah, I feel horrible. There I am talking about Paul Konerko and his lack of extra base hits, and now he’s out with a concussion. I watched Jarrod Dyson run into him last week, but I thought Konerko would shake it off and continue playing. He rarely misses time with injuries, so the fact that [...]
Le Grand Royale–Sox get chewed up by Kansas City
The Sox were on roll, having won 9 of 12 before their series against the Royals. They spirits had to be buoyed even more having gone 4-2 against two of top teams in the A.L.West, the Texas Rangers and the pretenders from Anaheim, the Angels. They even won game 1 against the Royals, so things [...]
Led by A J ury of 1, Sox are Dunn with the Angels
A.J.Pierzynski. One name, one scorching player. Every time A.J. came to bat he either put it over the fence, or came close. He hit 3 bombs over the weekend against the Angels, giving him home runs in 5 straight games. With 21 round-trippers, he has already surpassed his career high of 18. With 61 RBI, [...]
Sox offense can drive a person batty, but they are still getting it done
The worst kept secret is no more. John Danks won’t pitch again until spring 2013. Having been out since May, I didn’t think he’d be back this year. He hadn’t even made any rehab starts, and it’s now August. Only the supreme optimist thought Danks would all of a sudden heal up than ride in [...]
Question marks remain as the Sox begin the 2nd half
The 2nd half of the season, or the stretch run begins with the Sox on the road. They get 3 games in Kansas City, 4 in Boston, finishing with 3 in Detroit. It’s not a make or break trip, but the Sox need to at least win 5 of these games. The Sox ended the [...]
All-Star rosters announced, and not everyone should be happy
All-Star selections, minus one were announced today, and I don’t think there were any huge surprises as far as the Sox are concerned. Chris Sale made the team, but that was a given as he leads the A.L. with a 2.27 ERA. I think Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn were also locks. The Captain has [...]
