Wagons West!

Well, private jets anyway.

The West has not been kind to our Southsiders in the past, but I don’t get too hung up on trends like that. It’s a different club, with different players, and what the club did a few years ago has no bearing on how this particular trip will go.

That being said, this trip will show me something about this team. The Sox are coming off of a disastrous 0-6 “double-dome-dip” against the Twins and Blue Jays in which they scored only nine runs. The next ten games are at the Mariners, the Angels, and then the Giants. If they can come back 5-5 or 6-4, I will be content. If they come back 8-2 or 9-1 I will be elated. If they fall apart like the last road trip and come back 1-9 or 2-8, it will be a cause for concern.

The Angels are tough, but the Mariners and Giants are more then beatable, and the Sox need to prove they can win on the road. The sputtering offense finally showed some signs of life against the Twins, but their .233 team average is really starting to make me wonder if last year wasn’t the anomaly.
