SWEEP!!!

And the Sox take their rightful place atop the division this week with a three game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. In the first game, the Sox ran away with a 14-8 win. Matt Clement took his first win of the year. On Saturday, Curt Schilling pitched brilliantly for seven innings,with four K's. His only err was a home run by Luis Matos in the sixth. Mike Timlin held it(1) for Jon Papelbon, who aquired his 2nd save of this year. Jason Varitek and Kevin Youkilis each had an RBI. Read Saturday's stats-

  • And on Sunday, Tim Wakefield fluttered his knuckleball past the unsuspecting Oriole hitters for six freaky innings, as the Sox held the lead for a 4-1 win. Adam Stern batted in two, and Mike Timlin(2) and Keith Foulke(1) held the seventh and eighth innings, and the on-fire Jonathan Papelbon saved his 3rd game in a row, his second in two days as the Red Sox improved to 5 and 1.

    Go Red Sox! Hey, I had a question. Do you pick up a new favorite team from each location you live in? There was the Dallas Cowboys for your Texas days, Red Sox for Massachusetts, and... anything else?

    Sparky,

    Looks like the Sox had a huge win!

    Well, the two teams here are the Kansas City Chiefs for football, and the Kansas City Royals in baseball. The only team I'd cheer for would be the Royals, because we are big Denver Bronco fans, and Bronco fans highly dislike the Chiefs. The Royals stink, but they have a few players I like. So, in answer to your question, yes, I probably will like a team here, because of the fact that I'm stuck here for 5-7 years.

    Sparky,
    Oops... I get the Broncos and Cowboys mixed up. Don't ask me why. I am not a football enthusiast.
