Just keep winning, just keep winning...

So the Sox make it 3 straight series sweeps with another come from behind, one run win against the KC Royals. This has been an incredible run, especially when you consider the 3-6 hitters have been automatic outs for a great majority of this 7 game winning streak. This victory also added to the 7 straight series victories this year (being every series they have played this year).

Now we get another real test with a trip to Oakland. The Sox have had one winning year out there since 1998 (2000) going a combined 8-25 over that stretch. They open tonight with Garland against Zito, and then have the marquee match up Tuesday with Mark Buehrle going against young pheonom Rich Harden.

The Sox sit at a 104 year best 15-4 after 19 games. If the Sox can go out with a 52.5 winning percentage the rest of the season, they will win 90 games on the year. That ought to be pretty close to winning the division, and might also put them in wild card contention if the division proves to be tougher than that.
