Ah, what a lovely Monday. The taste of victory is still wet on my tongue and it’s a beaming 90 degree out. After a couple weeks of feeling teams out, the baseball season has finally begun to take form. The Red Sox completed a 3 game sweep of our rivals, the New York Yankees, and our on the heels of a surprise divison leading Blue Jay club. The Sox are rolling!

After dismantling the Yanks all weekend, the Red Sox take their 10 game winning streak into Cleveland to face an underachieving Indians team. The boys will face some struggling hurlers in Lee, Reyes and Carmona, so look for the bats to stay alive.

On a side note, my first blog referred to the awful start our team was in the midst of, after beginning 2009 with a 2-6 record. Well, since that day, all we’ve done is win. Apparently, all it took was for me to start blogging, which leads me to wonder, “Do the Red Sox players read The Ultimate Red Sox?”

Til next time, Go Sox!

There is nothing I enjoy more in life than watching the Yankees lose. With this weekend marking the first time the Red Sox and Yankees will meet this season, I have just one thing to say…DIE YANKEES DIE!!!

Til next time, Go Sox!

All it took was a visit from the Baltimore Orioles to regain ground in the AL East. The Red Sox swept 4 games at Fenway this past weekend and have finally gotten themselves above the .500 mark.

The Red Sox quickly fell behind 7-0 in game one, only to come storming back to a 10-8 victory. The boys showed great determination against the O’s ace Guthrie, which enabled them to provide enough momentum to take the remaining three games. Boston roughed up a pieced together O’s pitching staff all weekend and saw big performances from Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, Jon Lester, and the bullpen (which had been extremely ineffective the previous week and a half).

Look for the Red Sox to get behind the bat of the reigning AL MVP Dustin Pedroia, and come out swinging this week against the Twins, as well as the division rival Yankees, in the weekend series. The Sox seem to be coming into their own at just the right time. Now let’s see if we can break Cleveland’s record of 14 runs in an inning and defeat those mighty New York Bombers.

Til next time, Go Sox!
