At least after they lost yesterday, they did. Yesterday, Wake seemed to be leading the Hub Hose to their first 2011 win over the Chisox. Unfortunately, He left one pitch too many out over the plate and the Pale Hose catcher, Pierczynski, put it away. Final: Chisox 3, Bosox 1. Unfortunately, also The Dustman's hit streak ended at 25; unfortunate because it ended and also because in today's game, he started another that would have been the 27th in a row. That was yesterday. Today was a different story altogether. Lester on the mound and basically classically Lester. He went 8 innings, allowed just four hits and a walk while nailing 8 K's and gained his 11th W of the year. Offensively, he had all the support he would need and more. The Hub Hose scored most of their runs in two explosive innings--four in the 5th and their final five in the 9th, the last putting the game truly out of reach and allowing The Laser, busy warming in the bullpen, to sit back down. Overall, Dusty, Gonzo, Yooouuukkk, and Salty had multi-hit games, with Gonzo picking up three hits, including his 18th homer, a no doubter in the 9th. He also added a pair of ribbies, reaching 89 for the year as his league leading total grew. Yoouukk launched his 15th and the Sox also swiped three bases, among them Jake's 30th of the year. Overall, a great evening.
