The calm before the storm...
Sox head out of KC, taking two of three and increasing their lead to 2.5 games, while the magic number gets cut to 5. I have to thank the Rays for all their help this weekend, but now, it's time for the Sox to take care of themselves.
And starting this weekend, they did. I nice opener on Friday, with the sticks busting out and Buehrle pitching a solid game. Saturday wasn't nearly as good, as the Sox were shut down by Kyle Freaking Davies and lost 5-2. A six-pack was marinating inside me, and I was ready to hop on here and scorch some earth. But I held back, waiting to see how they'd respond. And they rebounded very nicely today, got clutch hitting, smart baserunning, and John Danks doing his usual badass pitching.
So now the off day for all of us to catch our breaths. Because now the real fun starts. The Metrodome series is here, and I don't know how much of it I can watch. By Thursday we'll know who the AL Central top dog is. The Twins at home just... frighten the shit out of me.
