Mark Buehrle

I figure there’s gotta be a more interesting way to go about wrapping up the season. Clearly, there is much to be said about this year in baseball, but this is the best I could come up with without losing patience. Cutest Couple: Jose Contreras & Pablo Ozuna. Jose and Pablo were such good friends, that when Ozuna was released, Contreras’ broken heart put him on the D.L. (“Elbow tendonitis”) Class Clown: Do I even have to say it? Nick Swisher.

Every time the Sox play in Tropicana Field, the first thought that goes through my head is, “I have a fever.

Of course, the irony comes in the differences between the three games. While in the first two, the pitchers were struggling and the Sox had plenty of time to even the score, in this third game, Buehrle had a great start, and the team had to pull together at least three run in one inning. Lucky the Twins gave us that 3.5 game cushion before, because in a... Read Full Story
