    Nice sweep this weekend! Good to see the bats waking up. It's also nice to see Papi finally over the Mendoza line.

    Also, seeing this made me chuckle. Eric Gagne blew his fifth save of the season Sunday. He walked three, gave up two hits and two runs and the Brewers lost to the Astros in 12 innings. He's got an era over 6 so far this year. I still can't believe the Brewers gave him 10 million dollar to be their closer.

    Maybe this is Bud's mea culpa for the steroid scandle. The other owners are making him pay Gagne. (I know he technically doesnt own them anymore)

    It was also nice to see Lester pitch pretty well, especially because it was damn cold there yesterday.

    It's actually the first time in a while I actually enjoyed being at a game at Fenway. Probably because I had an aisle seat and I could fit a little better than usual.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Another weird game from Daisuke; walked 8 batters but only gave up 2 hits and 1 earned run. More importantly he's 5-0 for the season. :)

    Definitely a strange line for Dice-K. Good to see Lowell finally getting into the RBI column. We're starting to play well again. Keep it going.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    And Youk took another ball deep like he did the previous game. Papi hit one out as well. The bats are coming around again.

    Other than Oji and Paps, the rest of the bullpen are struggling. :(

    Youkilis is on fire right now. 4 HRs in the Detroit series. 8 wins out of the last 10 games. Keep on rolling...

    Youk loves Detroit. It's the only park outside of fenway where he has hit more than 2 home runs. He's turning into a beast.

    I like the fact that Manny is intent on becoming a good defender. He definitely isn't the liability out there that he was a few years back. As far as being the best to ever play the Monster I don't know if I'd go that far. I like that he seems motivated by the thought of a Gold Glove though.

    I love Manny, the guy is a great player and a first ballot Hofer!! People can make comments all they want, but Manny enjoys the game of baseball. He plays with an exuberance that more players could take a lesson from.

    The best that I saw at Fenway to play the Monster was Carl Yastrzemski in the 70's. Here are a few stats on YAZ.

    Big sweep this weekend to end the losing streak and it looks like the bats are back.

    Can't wait to see Masterson's 2nd start on Tuesday as well as the debut of Colon.

    Counting the World Series, since 2006, the Sox are 35-8 and 20-3 at home against the minor I mean National League. ;)

    Loved the "We Want Gagne!" chants during the games this weekend. :)

    Good to see the bats come alive. Beckett looked pretty bad, allowing 4 homers. Dice-K looked very good once again. Ortiz is swinging the lumber pretty well. His average has crept up to .250 (.308 over his last 10 games). Time to get things rolling. It seems like we win 5 then lose 4. Very inconsistent. Hopefully the pitching will improve all around.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
