SWEEP!

The Red Sox got a nice performance from the bullpen tonight to finish off the sweep of some baseball team I don't really care about and would never write a blog dedicated to making fun of them. (Who gave you that crazy idea? Was it Steve?) Having been given a heavy workload in games 1 and 2 (and imploding in the latter), it was concerning to see Justin Masterson not make it out of the 6th. That being said, Hunter Jones (who?), Michael Bowden (WHO?) and Takashi Saito (wh...oh wait, I know this one) combined to pitch pretty damn well,a rare occurrence this weekend from either team. The Sox pitching (with a few exceptions named Ramon Ramirez) has been really under-performing this season, so hopefully this is a sign of things changing for the better. (Is it too much to hope that Okajima learns how to pitch again?) I can't argue with 12 - 6, but at some point those 16 - 11 wins are going to catch up with the Sox, even if the offense continues to get better and/or Nick "Why the Fuck Am I A Starter" Green is replaced with a real shortstop.
