I've long thought that Mountain Time Zone is the ideal location for sports viewing.
Weeknight MLB games start between 5-8pm.
Baseball/basketball playoff evening games start at 6-7pm.
Monday Night Football starts at 6:30pm.
Sunday early kickoff is at 11am.
Not too early that you are still at work when they start and not so late that you lose sleep to stay up for the finish.
I agree that Santiago isn't cutting it right now, but yesterday's game should have been won two different times before the 14th if not for baserunning errors, and calling for that off-speed pitch to Cespedes when Santiago had just blown a fastball by him wasn't the best idea.
Reinsdorf is chairman of both teams, but I think I read somewhere that the two ownership groups are not entirely the same, so those own part of the Bulls but not the Sox surely wouldn't go for that idea.
Well, to be literal, 9-6 is not sustainable because that projects out to 97 wins, but if Peavy/Sale/Humber/Dunn/Rios all perform anywhere close to the way they have so far, 90 wins is not out of the question.
Unless the Yankees have a starting OF suffer a season-ending injury, nobody is calling KW with an offer for Rios that doesn't involve eating a bunch of salary that KW is not (and should not) be willing to eat.
AL Central teams play 3 series each against AL West teams. Two of those teams will have 1 series at home and 2 on the road and the other two will have 2 at home and 1 on the road. So each year there are two AL West teams the Sox visit only once.
