Considering the dimensions of the storied ballpark, Ross –– a pull hitter –– believed his power numbers could spike compared to AT&T Park in San Francisco. In Wednesday's 10-1 victory, Ross' instincts proved correct as he launched his 14th and 15th home runs of the season.

Then, on Thursday, Cody Ross rose to the occasion, clubbing a three-run bomb to topple the White Sox. In each scenario, players swarmed the hero at home plate and mobbed him. Red...

The final game of the Sox vs. Sox series was tonight and Clay Buchholz was taking the mound for the Red Sox in hopes of them taking the series. Buchholz has seemingly figured out whatever it was that was bothering him earlier in the season and seems like that pitcher we knew and loved in 2010.
Buchholz unlike most of his fellow starting pitchers did not give up a run in the...
