It's a Triple Sweep!

Dad --

You may be wondering what I mean by the triple sweep. Yes, we swept the Yankees, but the triple sweep I'm alluding to was the sweep of the Orioles and the Twins as well.

You know what that means, don't you, Dad? It means the Red Sox swept the home stand and they're winning streak is up to 10 games. It's pretty amazing, especially considering how the season started.

Yesterday's game wasn't as intense as the previous two (thankfully) but there was at least one jaw dropping moment in the game. I of course am referring to Ellsbury's straight up theft of home plate in the third inning. Did you know he's the first Red Sox to pull that off since Billy Hatcher did the same thing in 1994? When it comes to base stealing, Ellsbury definitely knows his stuff.

So today the Sox are back on the road and facing the Cleveland Indians. I hope this road trip fares better for the Sox than their last. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
