I do not want to jinx the Sox, but they are 9-1 in their last 10 games, and are on a win streak of 6. This should not come as a surprise because the Sox have solid pitching and a lights out bullpen. The main surprise is where the offense is coming from. Last night against the Angels it was the top of the line-up that stole the show.
Ellsbury had first inning solo homerun, added another one later in the game, and played gutsy baseball by reaching on a bunt down the first baseline. This performance is what we are going to see for a long time from the leadoff man.
After Ellsbury's performance the second man in the order Dustin Pedrioa finished with four hits, and knocked in the game winning run.
This Sox team is going to be one to remember. I am calling it now, only 22 games into the season and you are looking at the World Series Champions.
Either Ellsbury or Pedrioa is going to win the MVP of both the League, and Championship. For what I can see so far, my guess is going to be Pedrioa will win.
I must admit, last night I did not expect the Sox to win, so I changed the channel and watched Deadliest Catch (which I admit is a great show).
One last thing, without Josh Beckett, the Sox are showing that they can win ballgames no matter who is going to get the start. GO SOX, and good luck to the Celtics, a team that I have not followed all season, and do not want to begin now.
After watching this video, I think we can all agree, Dustin should stick to baseball, and not acting
