Finally!!

Hi, everyone! Sorry I haven't been up to date with the latest few games the Sox played (ALL WINS), but I've been pre-occupied with my 40th Anniversary--gotta' know your priorities. Anyway, as I'm certain you all know, we're finally seeing the team we hoped for coming into the season. It looks as if the early April trials and tribulations were just the team getting itself together and growing into what was expected of it. Now, the pitching's good, even with two starters on DL, as Wake has stepped into a starter role again with fabulous command and Aceves has gone from middle reliever to starter and now has a pair of W's and a sub-3.00 ERA!The hitting has, overall, gotten better and more consistent, and even Crawford is starting to put out like he's worth (is anybody really?) that $142 mill. His performance in the past three games has been nothing short of world class! Jake is hitting near .300 and leads in swipes, followed by the Dustman and then Crawford, and to top it all off Papi and Gonzo are above .300, while Yoooouuukk has pushed his BA up into the .270's and is pasting the ball everywhere!
The last three games, 14-2,14-1 and 6-3 have been the immediate result, but they're merely representative of how the Hose have been going this month. They're a dozen of their last 14, three in a row. Also, they're finally in FIRST in the Division. Looking forward to more!
