76
Okay, that's enough of that. The Yankees swept the Sox in the Bronx over the weekend, leaving the Good Guys 4.5 games behind the Tigers and with a Magic Number (thanks to Detroit's first loss of the season to KC yesterday) of 76. The starting pitching was horrible -- 17 earned runs allowed in 17 innings pitched, according to ESPN (I couldn't bear to go back and count them myself). The clutch hitting was equally bad -- Thome, Konerko and Dye were a combined 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position on Sunday, for example. The only good news is that the team still has the second-best record in baseball and has a chance to do something about Detroit's lead starting tomorrow. The Sox invade Comerica Park for the second time this season. The last time we were there, which came when the team had lost four of its last five games, the Sox swept the three-game series and jump-started their season. Let's hope they can do that again. Go Sox!
P.S. A shout-out to my Mom, who celebrated her 80th birthday on Saturday. A party for her and my Dad, who celebrated his 85th earlier this year, brought me back to Chicago, but since there were no games in town, I couldn't work my personal mojo. Happy Birthday, Mom and Dad. We love you.
