6/1 Good Start to the Month

I haven't blogged in a while and I won't make excuses for it. I'll just pick up as if I've been writing this whole time.

Being a Sox fan, it's not unusual to see things done in dramatic fashion. That's the way I've grown up! Every year we win 20 games (at least) on a heroic hit in the late innings. Today's game was one of them for this year. Jim Thome cracked a three-run home run in the eighth inning to put the Sox up 5-2. Not only did we win the game with one more run for insurance, but that blast was Thome's 550th career homer!

Gavin Floyd pitched a strong seven innings, giving up two runs on four hits with eight strike outs. Like Paul Konerko, it takes Floyd a few weeks to heat things up. Once he's on fire, though, he's the most dominant pitcher on the staff and I can't stress how much that needs to continue.

I know, cruddy post, but at least it's something. I'll preview our next game tomorrow and then hopefully review tomorrow night.

Go Sox!!
