| When I went to start the game, the lineup set up kind of surprised me. JD Drew leadoff? But, I figured what the hell, go with it! Change of pace. Drew does fine, getting 2 doubles and the Sox pound out 10 hits, but 10 left on base and a rough start for Josh Beckett does them in. Four doubleplays turned by the Sox today, or else the score could have been much different. A brief note about the comparisons between the Sox next opponent, the San Francisco Giants, and the Rockies. As we all know, the Rockies played the Red Son in the World Series last year, winning 90 games. So far in the SOM season, they have a long ways to go to get to that pace, as they currently sit in last place 9 games below .500, 21 1/2 games behind....the San Francisco Giants! The real life Giants lost 90 games last year, but are absolutely plowing through the SOM schedule at 50-15, almost .800 ball! And the Giants are actually currently on a 2 game losing streak, the first time all season they have lost back to back games. Of course, that impressive record was helped considerably by the 17 game winning streak earlier in the season. BTW, if you are curious, the current worst team in the majors is the Detroit Tigers at 22-43, but only 9 1/2 games out of first because the division-leading White Sox are 2 games below .500!! |
