recommended daily allowance of Sox: 9 units

you know what i love about this team? a week ago, we may not have been outright worried about the lack of offense coming out of the Trop, and having dropped five stright games, but at least some of us were casting a watchful eye on the alarmingly low number of hits the Sox were producing, never mind the even smaller number of runs scored.

and just like that -- the Sox have won six of seven, stealing seven bases & driving out six home runs (three of them last night, two-run blasts for Lowell & Youk and a solo shot for Papi).

silver lining? the Tigers have Renteria (two Es last night) so we are evenly matched at SS. ;-) i miss him about as much as i won't miss Lugo when Lowrie is given the position.

it's pretty hard to find anything to complain about right now. except for your cable going out in the bottom of the ninth inning. and even that righted itself just in time for me to see the final out of the game recorded. =)
