Just got home from a late softball game under the lights. I played my best game of the year. 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored, I hustled around the basepaths and made some good plays out in right center. I even gunned down two runners going to third. I'm totally charged up. What a great...

Beginning August 7th, the Sox entered the most important 3 week stretch of the entire season. Its a 'make it or break' period in which the Sox play every day - 21 games- against the best and more important teams. Of those 21 games, 14 are at home. As I write this, the Sox are...

Ross Gload's 9th inning, one-out grand slam on friday night marks the turning point of the 2006 Sox season. A game that was lost suddenly was won, and a long losing streak is now 2-game winning streak. I still think Ozzie needs to shuffle the line-up and move Thome down to the...

Put a fork in the Sox - they're done.For me, the entire season cam down to the 5th inning of friday night's game against the Minnesota Twins. With the Sox up 3-0, 2 runners on base and 2 outs, Konerko hit a deep drive that just missed being a home run. It wound up being an...
