13 of the last 16

Hard to complain, really. One all-around crappy game on Monday, two terrible innings on Tuesday, and things seemed bad. Now things seem better. Pretty ridiculous the way that works. Sox avoid the sweep, Wakefield pitches another great game (note to Mirabelli: no more swinging Ortiz's bats), back-to-back HR from the bottom of the order (Bellhorn showing signs of power: 4 doubles, 2 HR, 7 RBI the last 8 games) Mantei looks strong in the 8th, Timlin comes in for the save in the 9th. It'll be interesting to see how this whole closer thing shakes out.

The Cleveland Indigenous Peoples continue to impress; they're off to Baltimore tomorrow so suddenly Travis Hafner is our friend. Baltimore-Yankees rubber game tonight. No Sox baseball until Friday, when the BJ's (6-2 against Boston so far) roll into town.

[Update: Biggio has just been plunked for the 268th time, by our old friend Byung-Hyun Kim, so has just broken the modern record. Number 267, which tied him with Don Baylor, happened yesterday -- Don Baylor's birthday.]
