Satisfaction

When I left the office on Friday, the Red Sox were one half game behind the Orioles, but were riding a hot streak.

The hot streak continued over the weekend, and not only did the Sox take over first place, but they have somehow managed to build a 2.5 game lead. Ramirez is on fire, the whole offense seems to be clicking, hitting for extra base hit after extra base hit, and for 25 out of 27 innings over the weekend, the pitching was dominant.

Alan Embree continues to suffer (or we suffer by having to watch him), but really there is little to complain about today in Red Sox Nation. That means we can save up our moaning for around the All-star break and late July, when the team does its usual mid-summer skid.
