Alot has changed when the Sox first tried to play today's game back on June 26. For one thing we no longer have the man who is 12th on the career home run list, Jim Thome. Not that it would matter in today's game as there is no DH. We lost smooth fielding Brian Anderson. We also lost Jose Contreas and Clayton Richard, but we did gain an injuried Jake Peavy. Along with Peavy we picked up the lofty contract of underachiever Alex Rios and savvy left handed hitter Mark Kotsay. We also gained more experience for rookie Gordon Beckham, who seems to be the permanent replacement to Joe Crede, unlike Josh Fields. Finally we gained a couple of extra players for Ozzie Guillen to toy with from the September call ups. One of those is today's starter Carlos Torres. Another player that could be something to watch is catcher and heavy hitting Tyler Flowers.
One thing that didn't change is the fact that Sox fans are still waiting for the team to go on a hot streak. All season the Sox have had their hand on the the trigger, but they just haven't pullled the trigger. They have been right there all season, but now time is running out. It's time for the Sox to get hot or sit at home during the playoffs.
