Well finally, an off day. While one part of me hates it, the other part of me knows the Sox will enjoy it and benefit from it. Playing 20 straight games is not easy, and only the Phillies know worse (21 in 21 last year). It's not easy and adding double headers into the mix only makes it worse.
Now, before the sox went into this "semi" slump they had just gotten off sweeping the D-Rays. Now going in reverse, getting an off day and then playing the D-Rays should therefore swing momentum back in the sox favor. It seems the only teams the sox can beat up on this year are the D-Rays and the Yankees. What better way to get on a roll than to beat up on the D-Rays.
Now, BH Kim is back, but still not ready for big league action. That's ok, we have a stellar five starter in Bronson Arroyo. Now, barring any unforeseen or tragic injuries these are five things to expect from the sox...
#1 When Trot gets back the Sox will start hitting better
#2 Bronson Arroyo will be the five starter for the remainder of the year and pitch competitively
#3 Curt Schilling will become the Ace of this staff
#4 Things will get better for Derek Lowe
#5 The Sox will win the division by somewhere between 5-10 games and win 13 games against the Yankees this year.
