Sweet Sweep

What else can you ask for? Quality start by BK Kim. 8 scoreless innings from the pen. A Grady ejection. Capping off a sweep by winning their 10th game of the year in their final at-bat. We know the sox can score runs, but it’s nice to see them do the little things to win games vs. quality opposition when they are unable to pound out hits. I think we’ve seen a large measure of the character of Nomar Garciaparra in the last 7-10 days in particular. Like him, hate him, or want to trade him, you have to admit that this guy just wants to win the damn game. Every game. It’s time for the Sox to string something together here and right the ship prior to the ASG. Sweeps and good feelings have been counteracted by losses and slumps too often this year. Enough with the .500 ball. Let’s roll.

p.s. Naming Rupe to come in behind Pedro tonight is yet another bungle by Grady and the Sox. Kim and Rupe are giving the Sox quality starts and therefore should be left out there every 5th day. Enough with this “sidework” in relief foolishness. Stabilize the rotation.
