On the Right Side of the Broom Again

Sox: 5 A's: 2

The Sox come back from being swept by the Halos with a sweep of the other American League team in The Golden State. Dice-K throws a lot of pitches (as usual) but picks up win #12. Bay keeps the hits coming, going 2 for 4, and makes the plays in the outfield, like throwing Ellis out at second. Lowrie adds two more ribbies, tripling in the 4th with two men on. So young, yet so clutch! Papi continues to struggle at the plate, getting his timing back after nearly 2 months on the DL, but his teammates are taking up the slack, especially Youk, whose power numbers are up this year and could end up with close to 30 homers by season's end.

Tomorrow the Sox head out to Kansas City to play the Royals, who they no-hit and swept in May. The KC crew won't have to face Lester this time and I'm sure they're thanking their lucky stars about that. Then it's on to Chicago where they play those other Sox.

LET'S GO RED SOX!!! WAY TO COUNTER-SWEEP THE A'S!!!!
