Some of you may have heard my references to Rob and Big. Here's the music video they made. Bobby Light is my hero

The Sox update you have been waiting for

We've had 11 games since the last blog entry (way to stay on top of this Justin) and a lot has happened with the streaky Black Sox. First, we lost 3 straight (scoring a whopping 5 runs icnluding 2 shutouts) to the league darlings, West Roxbury, and the pesky McKay club). The Sox then turned it around with a few wins against the juggernaut Chelsea teams and a third straight win against McKay. The bats went cold again last weekend as the Sox dropped all 3 games (5-1 to E. Boston, 4-1 Brookline, and the standard 2-0 shutout at Medford). Brookline went on to celebrate their win for the next 2 hours with champagne, like they won the world series. Methinks these guys have never won more than 12 games in a season.

Billy Gills has returned to form (about time; you were expecting run support?) for the Black Sox, picking up 2 wins in the past week. The first came against McKay and the most recent a shutout of Savin Hill at the picturesque McConnell Park. The game at Savin Hill saw the return of Matt Borto to the lineup. Borto showed up the inept Sox lineup by going 3 for 3. What a jerk. The win at Savin Hill improved the Sox record to 14-14 with 6 games left in the playoff push. Time to do work. Literally.

Brighton Black Sox

At 9-8, the Brighton Black Sox are sitting pretty, smack dab in the middle of the Bill Stewart Division of Boston's Yawkey League, just a few points off the pace of the division's perennial basement dweller, the Brighton Braves, the aging Brighton Brewers, and the league darlings, Somerville Alibrandis.

"I'm inspired to go out and beat Somerville after reading this", says former Sox coach Joe Terrio, who gave up his role as manager and coach of the Black Sox to "spend time with his family". Terrio was referring to the Black Sox next game against the Somerville Alibrandis on Saturday, a game that should determine the winner of the Bill Stewart division.
