  1. More runless than hitless. (Why is runless not a word and hitless is?)
  2. The Sox going 32-5 is right up there with the US winning the gold medal in hockey in 1980 as far as miracles go.
  3. Good pitching beats good hitting. It also beats bad hitting, which we'll be able to watch next Tuesday and Wednesday.
  4. Also in the 2000 season Pedro had 284 strike outs and an 11.7 WAR.
  5. IMHO, the most impressive stat that Pedro put on the board was in the 2000 season. He had an ERA of 1.74, the lowest in the AL. The second lowest ERA was Clemens at 3.70. Of course, this was during the steroid era.
  6. So when someone starts besides the three you mentioned, the Sox are 33-45.
  7. What started on June 25th was more than a hot streak, it was a miracle. I believe a team is only allocated one miracle per season. Beating the Yankems 2 out of 3 at Yankem Park, especially with the Sox current offense, would, IMHO, require another miracle.
  8. After further investigation it was a sports writer named Bob Gallas he choked.
  9. The movie about him Fear Strikes Out sucked as bad as this Sox offense.
  10. Where would the Mets be w/o the 750 million dollar one tool player Juan Soto?
  11. Years later, long after he retired he was arrested for attempting to choke a White Sox announcer to death. Unfortunately, the announcer wasn't Steve Stone.
  12. Gray ends up 18-5. To have that record on a team that ranks 20th in runs scored gets my vote for the Cy Young.
  13. Pierssal, who by the way was an excellent outfielder, hit a HR and ran around the bases backwards. He also climbed up the Pesky Pole during a game.
  14. It's too bad Bill Lee and Jimmy Pierssal weren't playing for the Sox at the same time.
  15. Well, at least this fragile team got one run. It's only their 5th run in their last 40 innings.
  16. The speed is measured immediately after it leaves the pitcher's hand.
  17. KC=hyped bust Mayer=hyped bust RA=hyped bust Arias=let's hope for the best.
