Sox find a broom, sweep the Cubs for the first time in more than a decade

One thing came out of the just completed Sox-Cubs Windy City Rivalry. The Sox are better than the Cubs at just about every position. Some could argue that shortstop is a toss up, but in terms of longevity, you have to take Alexei Ramirez. I digress. The Sox didn’t take 2 of 3 like I [...]

Royals had their fill of Phil, but loved the Sox pen

Good news. After 3 real bad starts, Phil Humber pitched great! Pitching in to the 7th inning, Humber only gave up 4 hits and 1 run, while striking out 7. The bullpen was another thing.

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?
