Man, the Sox’ offense is just awesome. I had a long ode written about the greatest of home runs, but I’m going to save it for my Sox column at Beachwood on Monday. My point was that people who think the Sox relies too heavily on home runs to make a deep run in the playoffs are just wrong. The Sox lead off majors in homers right now with 188, and the next closest team trails by 20. Their offensive dominance is proven in their run differential, as only the Cubs have beaten teams by a greater margin this season. Also: thank God Junior finally hit one. I was getting a little worried there for a second. But yeah, check back Monday when I post that.

News on the future, because, come on, it’s always more exciting than the present, from Jeeves’ Life in the Cell:

(White Sox first round draft pick Gordon) Beckham has played in 3 games for the Intimidators (Kannapolis - A league) and has really hit the ground running. In his first game, he went 3-4 with a double and a walk which is pretty impressive after his long layoff between the end of the college season and now. His second game wasn’t as impressive, as he went 1-4 (though he did walk twice). Game 3 yielded Becks his first career homer and a 3-3 day with a walk. His slash stats are looking quite sexy at .636/.733/1.000/1.733. I’m really quite happy about the number of walks he’s taken already.
