Sox rock the Twins, continue their roll

Like I said, Adam Dunn will return this weekend and torch the Twins. I didn’t have the guy returning until the end of the year, like 5 or so games left. As usual, I was wrong. Dunn came back with a vengeance, even smacking his 39th home run of the year. Twins suck, so the [...]

Sox are purr-fectly overwhelmed after visiting the Tiger den

Last season the Tigers put a hurtin’ on the Sox, winning their last 7 games–all but one coming in September. I know this is a different year, but right now the story reads the same. The Sox went into Detroit in the first week of September and got swept, giving the Tigers 7 straight wins [...]

Sox Sale-ing right along, take a broom to the Yankees

Early August 1991, the Sox swept the Yankees in a 3-game set in Chicago. No one knew that it would take more than 21 years to do it again. In August 1991, Robin Ventura was a star 3rd baseman. Playing to his left was another pretty good player in short stop Ozzie Guillen. Who knew [...]

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 [...]

Sox continue to be movers and shakers

The Sox, well Ken Williams, did it again. Seeing that his rotation needs an upgrade, the Sox GM went out and picked up Francisco Liriano from the Twins for Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernandez. It was another in a series of great moves. Kevin Youkilis, Brett Myers and now Liriano. And he almost got Zack [...]
