Another Bataround!

Well, the other day against the Brewers the Sox suddenly rose up and put the game out of reach by sending ten men to the plate. Ten men? Nothing! Today against the Pads, the score was knotted at 3 after one of the Pads had tied the game with a 3 run shot in the 6th. Not to worry--our heroes came to bat in the 7th and after scoring the go-ahead run and then making two outs, exploded like a nuclear warhead. When the smoke had cleared, the line for the inning was 13 men to the plate and 10 runs (no typo) scored, the last 9 after two were out. Someone ought to tell the guys that BP is BEFORE the game starts, not during the middle of it.
Seriously, the Sox banged out 14 hits, which when coupled with 9 BB's adds up to a lot of opportunity. Gonzo was 3-5, including a double. Papi, Yoouukk and The Dustman each had run scoring two baggers. At this rate, Gonzo will own almost every offensive category available. He's now well over 60 ribbies, and leads the league in BA, Doubles, hits and RBI's. Way to go, Theo! He's followed closely by both Yoouuk and Papi in terms of RBI's as well. If all of this is not enough, the Hose had 5 guys hitting over .300 on the season. No wonder their team BA is MLB's highest!
