Welcome Back...

No, not Mr. Kotter but the 'second half' of the baseball season.

We'll see if the four day layoff did anything to hurt the club although given the way they played the week before the break (having lost 5 of 8) perhaps they needed a breather.

The interesting thing about tonight is who starts for Baltimore...yep, another unknown pitcher with a bad record and an awful ERA named Jason Berken, who got a win then dropped six straight. His ERA is over five and a half and he's only lasted into the 7th inning one time.

Now normally you'd say that means he'll five hit the Sox for six innings allowing only one run but hey, we can be optimistic, maybe the Sox will actually get to a pitcher they've never seen before.

Fans can only hope this is the case.
