Ugh
I'm back in Singapore, but since the Sox playing the Jays has been really too depressing to talk about, let's just go all The Smoking Gun with this story of Scott Sauerbeck getting arrested.

Sox - Phillies
Okay, I'm still in Bonn, but just some quick thoughts: watched today's game, pretty much was expecting DiNardo to be average - well, he's the 5th starter. But last night's game - to see Beckett and AGon homer - good golly.

International Sox Fan
Am now in London, and will be in Germany from the Saturday to a couple of weeks after that. Which means, unfortunately, that I haven't had the time to blog properly about the Sox. Although that 14-3 thrashing of the Yankees was lovely to watch - Randy Johnson imploding utterly, an A-Gon homer...

Sox 7, Yankees 3: Sox Sweep the Series
What is up with two-game series? One rainout later and the Sox have their first sweep of the Yankees. This was a strange game - balls blowing into the wind, knocked down like flies before the gods, until David Ortiz - who else, right? - did what no one else could, launched a shot that broke through the hurling winds out of the park. Against a lefty, no less. And a lefty specialist like Mike Myers, who till that point had been having a great season for a LOOGY. (Ex-2004 Sox pitchers having great seasons: Pedro, Arroyo, Myers...) Less impressive, but a good sign I thought, was Ortiz beating the shift early on by hitting to the opposite field.
Meanwhile, yes, the Doug Mirabelli saga was one of those seriously melodramatic moments of Sox lore. Here's the NPR report.
