Sox Win 5th In A Row

The Boston Red Sox have found consistency that eluded them over the first 2 weeks of the season. Another win over the White Sox last night by a score of 10-3 assures them of at least a split in the Windy City. You know things have turned around when a .121 hitter like Darnell McDonald gets 4 RBI including a home run. Here's what I'd like to know. Where are the reporters who bashed the Sox over the first 2 weeks? They have moved onto bash the Bruins, talk about the old Celtics & any other negative sports story they can find. Throw the bad start by the LA Angels of Anaheim in there too. We just can't be happy about a positive turnaround. Sports papparazzi needs negativity to feed on or they feel that they will lose their jobs. It's a one-sided coin with sports talk. Say what you want about Marlon Byrd not being the answer, but he has done nothing but produce in a Red Sox uniform. And Byrd has stabilized the CF position in lieu of Ells. Since his arrival the Sox have done nothing but win. Coincidence? One more win tonight & the Sox are back to the magical .500 mark. Top to bottom in the AL East is a spread of 3 games in the loss column. You don't win a pennant in April, but it's also nice to see no one pulling away from the pack. I'm looking forward to a tight race this year. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
