I can't figure these guys out at all. The Yankers beat up on the Jays for two games, then lose the third by something like 11 runs. The Sox get man handled by the Angels for two games, scoring a total of 6 runs to LA's 14, they come back on the third night and score 9, and the bull pen holds for a win. The Phillies split with the Cubs, lose two to the slumping Brewers, the beat them in the third. Now they are poised to sweep the Marlins (based on the other series I've mentioned, what are the odds of that?)

I have fond that it is harder to block out time to write in this blog when the Sox or Philles lose. When they both lose, it's almost impossible. But I'm trying.

Here's another thought for the sake of jinxing the whole deal: With the Sox leading their division and the Phillies only one game from the wild card, the odds are better than they have been in a long time (possibly 1ever) that the Phillies and the Red Sox could face each other in the World Series It's a long shot, sure, but not as long as most years! What would I do then? This exercise in duality would really get interesting then, no? Who would I really be pulling for in that one?

I can't even think about that now - it's making my head hurt!

Good Grief! The Yankers finally dump one and this is what the Sox do? Tank a lead to the lowly White Sox? How mortifying!

Once again, no freakin' late inning offense what-so-ever! Dice-K gives up only two hits, but gets three earned runs. Perhaps it was the 6 walks? Then, while our bats are leaving 9 men on base, Okajima gives up a jack to Konerko. Many takes a shot at what probably would've been the game winner, and he ends up putting in the deepest part of the field and flying out.

In my next post, I'll describe what this is doing to my sleep!

There there's my Phillies. No late inning offense, no early inning offense either? The Padre's Young gave up only 2 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings. Hammels does great for Philly, but with no runs...need I say more?

Same game times tonight: Sox at 7:05, Phils at 10:05 I might be able to watch the Phils tonight if my nerves can stand it!
