Great to see Sawamura K Ohtani to preserve the excellent shutout. Very welcome win.

[vegasbob]

2 hits from Cordero and 2 from JBJ. HR’s from JD and Raffy. Pitching gives up 0 runs. Game ends in 2.5 hours.

Today was a good day.

Sounds like old times ( 2021) with the bottom of the order participating

What's the over-under on consecutive wins needed to make Stork disappear, again?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well-played game by SOX. Bogey was a defensive demon and the offense is taking baby steps, but did beat a very good pitcher. Let's just keep it going.

Sox need to win four more game straight just to get to 500. Long way to go.

138 games if my math is correct.

Celtics bounce back as well. Hope they can keep that up.

Yes sir but this is why you can’t bury yourself early in a tough division where one team seems to be running away from the division. We shall see but is this team capable of going on a 13 game winning streak? We shall see.

While winning the division is very nice, it's not really needed.

The Yanks will hit a rough patch, at some point. We will likely have a few more, too.

With 138 games to go, there is enough time to overtake the Yanks or do enough to secure a playoff slot.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX play 17 home games this month. They must make hay in May whether the sun is shining or not.
So far, so good.

It's actually 19.

Counting tonight, we play 20 of our next 28 at home (to June 1st), including a 5 game series vs BAL in 4 days.

We have to win, because after this stretch, we hit the left coast road

3@ OAK
4@ LAA
3@ SEA

We all know how we do out there.

Wacha doesn’t resemble the 5 ERA guy that he has been in recent years.

Two usually does the trick...

Nothing is guaranteed with this team just very disappointing how they dug a hole for themselves early. Couldn’t stop the bleeding. Anyway get back to 500 and then maybe we can see .

They did put added pressure on themselves to have one or two more hot stretches over the remaining season, but as badly as they have been playing, the last WC slot is not all that far away. (I've been needlessly reminded that last place is just as close.)
