Pair of Worn Out Sox
In early September the White Sox came to Fenway and swept the Red Sox in a three-game series. The Southsiders had just claimed Manny Ramirez off waivers to help them in their push to clinch the wild card. By the time Ozzie Guillen and his squad departed Boston for Detroit they passed by the Red Sox for the wild card.
Since then both teams have flagged in the race for the postseason. Ramirez wasn’t the catalyst Kenny Williams hoped for. In 66 at bats with the White Sox Ramirez has displayed poor power (one double, one home run, .318 slugging percentage) but has reached base reasonably well (.410 on-base percentage).
Clay Buchholz seems to have selected Tom Brady as his role model. Marry a blond model? Check. Tousled hairstyle? Check. Three championships? Almost there.
