Great outing by Wake today...

Wakey got robbed today. He deserved to get the win but the offense just could not come through for him. It seemed like there was a chance for the Sox to at least tie it in the 9th, but it was not to be. Too bad. It was a magnificent effort by Wake.

Putting some positive perspective into the loss, it's bodes well for us to see Shilling's performance yesterday followed by Wake's performance today. Our pitching staff seems to be peaking at just the right time.

I was hoping to take 2 out of 3 against NY, but was willing to settle for 1 out of 3 and a 3 game lead over the MFY heading into Toronto and that's what we got... Ok fine. Meanwhile, the Skanks have to take on their nemesis, Tampa Bay. Lets hope those guys will help us out.

Is it ok to mention the magic number yet? I've heard people are arguing about wether it should be spoken out loud or not. I am as superstitious as the next guy but I think it is ok to state that the number is at 18. There's still a lot of games left against some tough opponents so The Sox can't let up.

Unrelated to Baseball, how great was it to have a Sunday afternoon with Football again? Even though the Pats were not playing, I watched a little bit of a few games. For me, September is always the toughest month for Football because the weather is still so nice. I just can't see spending a beautiful day inside watching TV. There will be plenty of time to stay inside in a few short weeks. It will be cold and miserable soon enough. I like to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. When the Pats are on and it's a day like today, I tape the game and watch it later. That's what they made VCR's for. The key is to route the FM Radio into the VCR Audio inputs in order to get the full 'Gil and Gino enhanced' experience.

I can't believe I am saying this, but after last year, I am not really superstitious anymore. I think they will clinch the division, no problem (knock on wood). ; )
