July 14, 200322 yr We went 6-7. I suppose that's not all that horrible, but considering who our "competition" was, it's a lot worse than it seems. That sweep against the Twins really saved us, as it's kept us within striking distance after the break, but it's going to take a major hot streak for us to catch the Royals. The biggest plus for the Sox is that our starting pitching, save Danny Wright, has really been impressive so far this year. Well, now that I look at the stats, it hasn't been that great, but I think that with Garland you can attribute his 4.64 ERA to a really bad game here and there, and with Buehrle you can blame his horrible start. But as of late, it just seems that we are getting perfomances that are giving us a chance to win the ballgame, and that's all you can ask of your starters. I would not be opposed to the Sox moving Porzio into the rotation and getting Danny into the bullpen, and sending Glover down to the minors to work on his s***. And then, hopefully Danny could turn into Eric Gagne and all would be well in Chi-town. Porzio gave up 3 ER in 5 1/3 IP in his start Saturday, but he looked a lot more impressive than Danny has, that's for sure. The success of the Sox is going to depend on the success of the offense. We've seen that if this team can put up some runs, we win. I hope they use the AS break to do some soul searching and come out on Thursday and kick some ass. If not, July 31 is rapidly approaching and we could see White Flag Part Deux.
