Impressive Win In Oakland
Considering that the Sox have been terrible in Oakland the past couple of years, Monday nights win was very impressive. A 6-0 win over Barry Zito and the A's has the Sox winning streak at eight games. Through six innings, both Jon Garland and Barry Zito were untouchable. But then in the top of the seventh, the Sox came through with some big hits. With one man on, Chris Widger hit a two run shot to left field. It was his first homerun in five years. Carl Everett added a two run double as the Sox scored four runs in the seventh which was plenty of run support for Garland. Jon Garland continued his dominance. He pitched a complete game shut out giving up only four hits. Every time he takes the mound he just keeps gaining more confidence and also looks better and better. It's great to see this kid finally coming through for us.

Mr. Ozuna
Are you getting sick of me talking about him yet? Well, if he continues to play the way he is all year long, I am going to be talking about him everyday. Pablo started the game in left field last night and led off for the Sox. He went 2 for 3, scoring two runs and he also stole second base twice. Oh, and he ended up finishing the game playing third base. To have a guy sitting on the bench for a week and being able to put him in the lineup and produce like he does is very hard to find for your ball club. We have to give some props to Kenny Williams for bringing him in to tryout for this team. He had to make the team considering he hit about .530 in spring training. Every time he steps on the field he continues to impress me. Keep it up Pablo!
Injuries
A.J. Pierzynski sat out Monday's game with a toe injury. He was hit by a pitch in the foot during Saturday's game in Kansas City.
Jose Contreras left Saturday's game after only 3 1/3 innings with a sore hamstring. He tested it out yesterday and everything seemed fine. He isn't expected to miss his next start.
Great Pitching Match-up
Two of the hottest pitchers in the American League will face off on Tuesday night. Mark Buehrle will take on Rich Harden.
