A joust today between Red Sox Jon and White Sox John, starting pitchers both. In the end, Jon outpitched (outjousted?) John and the Boston Red Sox were victorious in this third game of the series. The Chicago White Sox will not sweep Boston. There were few of us in the New England sports living bar to witness this most welcomed result. It is a holiday (Labor Day) weekend and many have left to enjoy other locales. Mike was here (Andrew is still out because of his injured foot) and for most of the game he only had three people in the bar - yours truly, the other regular Rich, and a guy whose name I think is Chris. No matter how few of us there were, the win (though a missed shutout) in U. S. Cellular Field could not have been better received. The Red Sox had a day of double digits hits and double homeruns. Hope Boston will favor us with another win tomorrow and finish with a series split. Because of Boston's win and their losses, the Red Sox were able to gain ground on the Yankees and to increase the distance from the Rangers and the Rays. Here's to victory!
