Dog Days

I haven't been giving my writing here any attention in the past week. Sorry. Call it the dog days of August. I'll try to be better this week. Real life is just kicking my ass.

Sox Update: The Sox take 2 of 3 from the lowly Seattle Mariners. Guillen and Co. just need to keep playing like this... and maybe score some more runs. Sunday, it looked like Garcia just didn't have it, and the Sox get spanked, 9-2. However, some notable performances included Ozuna, who was 2 for 4 with a stolen base in the leadoff spot. Konerko also had 2 hits. Rowand was 3 for 4. Saturday the Sox won 4-3 and it was all Jermaine Dye - 4 for 4 with a homer. Contreras had another fine outing, 7 Ks in 7 IP, giving up 3 ER. The pen shuts the door on a rally. Friday was young Anderson's moment to shine - 3 for 4 with a homer and 3 RBIs. Iguchi's 2 run-2-out homer in the 12th was the key. Sox win 5-3.

After a few days of Timo in the leadofff spot, I think we're all ready for sPod's return.
