14 of our 18 games against the Sox are going to be in August or September
Doesn’t that seem kind of ridiculous?
so if we ever figure out how to beat them that'll be great!

Actually, I’d turned to watch a few minute of basketball at that point, and all of a sudden the TIgers went from 1 run to 7 runs on the board, so I didn’t actually SEE it happen.
