No Remy in the booth again tonight. That should improve the broadcast and hopefully the team makes it enjoyable to call.

Any doubts one may have about the "increase in childhood obesity" statistics pretty much go out the window when you see crowd shots in Chicago.

Some of these kids look like they're going to have their first heart attack before they graduate from high school. And it's not because they're from Arkansas and aren't going to graduate.

[Cambridge]

Ryan Sweeney with the epitome of a bloop double.

[BigSlick]

What a horrible route to that ball by Byrd.

[BigSlick]

Great game by Lester... Let's see if the pen can hold it.

[Cambridge]

Dunn is a key hitter here. The way the wnd is blowing, a LHH is far more likely to go deep than a RHH.

Have you been talking to Cody Ross?

[Cambridge]

When Aceves comes in to pitch the ninth, it's a bit like when Joe Borowski closed for the Indians.

1 out to go and a lefty up... I hope you aren't proven right.

Not really.

[SoxAroundTheWorld]

Love that dirty water. Nice game.

[Cambridge]

Best team in baseball. May never lose again. Etcetera.

Who would have thought on Monday morning that by Saturday Night the Sox would be .500 and have a +1 run differential on the season?
