Sox Complete Sweep

The Sox improved to an AL-best 14-7 today, completing their sweep of the Texas Rangers. They have won nine of their last ten. Were you worried when they were 5-6? Well, quit worrying. Joe Thurston's not worried. Look at him- hugging it out with Brad Mills. The Law of Large Numbers isn't worried, either. The Maths and the replacement-level roster fillers all believe in the Sox' superiority.

Boston started a lineup with plenty of backups today, including Cash, Macha, Thurston, and Lugo. It didn't matter. The Sox don't lose on fake Masachusetts/Maine/Wisconsin holidays. The Rangers would have been better served taking the day off, watching that big race, and shielding their ERAs from further damage.

One question did come to mind today, however. No, not "Why do all of the Joe Thurston- Red Sox pictures on the internets seem to involve him hugging someone?" The answer to that is, obviously, because he is thankful for not being released, and forced to play in the Independent Leagues. The question is,"How come I did not know until today that Curt Schilling-voiced GPS's were available?" This is a brilliant idea. Or, at least, a brilliant start of an idea. Pedroia. Tavarez. Ramirez. Beckett. Papelbon. They all need to be represented in the GPS genre. I would buy every single one of them. AND a different car for each. Forget about retirement, I'll keep working well past Macha's age, if that's what it takes. This NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Now, I shall watch the hockey. While fantasizing of a Pedroia-voiced GPS.
