Red Sox Report

After a 15-5 win and 24-20 record the Sox are suddenly looking like the team we thought they were in early March. The pitching has come around, the offense has been great, and the defense has been awesome. What can you say the Sox are dominating and Boston fans are loving it. The offense to be feared has really taken hold and I especially love the combination of Ellsbury and Gonzalez. Out of all the players acquired Adrian Gonzalez has to be the best, and the biggest impact on the team. Seriously, with Ellsbury leading off the game with a single, stealing second, with Gonzo at the plate that’s run number one right there. Can I hear the chants for MVP yet, or perhaps Triple Crown. While it might be early Gonzalez is definitely something special. Seeing him make the adjustments against CC Sabathia in the Yankee series to come back in his 3^rd at bat and hit a homerun to right; yet also have tremendous power to left – it’s a beautiful thing. I stand by my early predictions, Gonzo will have a .320 average or higher, maybe as high as .340 if he gets on a hot streak, 35+ homeruns, and 120+ RBI’s (Ellsbury helps him a lot with this). Gonzo is something special and so are the Red Sox, watch them to be a force in the AL East come September. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention Josh Beckett who is looking BETTER than his 2007 form? What else can you say, he’s been infallible and that will be key down the stretch. Well that’s the Red Sox report, they go to their throwback jerseys tonight looking for win #25 and the lead in the AL East, it certainly is a good time to be a Boston fan.
