First Road Victory of the Season

Well then. Let's look at it as 5-4 at home instead of 6-11 overall until this team finally reaches .500. Which isn't a matter of if, but a matter of when.

Hey when even JD Drew is going yard you know things are starting to click. Jed Lowrie continues his superhuman surge, going 2-4 with another home run and making Red Sox fans quickly forget about the Edgar Renteria/Alex Cora/Alex Gonzalez/Julio Lugo/Marco Scutaro era at shortstop. Yeah Gonzalez was good defensively but is it a stretch to say Lowrie is the best shortstop in the 617 since Nomah Garciaparra? Just look at that list again, provided you didn't gouge your eyes out after reading it the first time.

Next up: a trip to SoCal to take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Angels. What is it about Anaheim? It's not in Los Angeles. But between that ridiculous moniker they've got for the Angels and trying to get a third NBA team in the area, they just don't know if they're coming or going.

    What about Orlando Cabrera?

    Robert its a fair question, but we don't want Lowrie to be a two month stop-gap like Cabrera was do we? Hopefully Lowrie stays away from other players' wives. Although with Varitek getting engaged this means Heidi Watney is suddenly available.
