There was a caveat to this weekend's series.  We faced Cole, Martin, and Miley.  Next weekend we get Cole and probably Verlander, Peacock.

The Astros also came in on a tear.  You know how streaky teams can get.  The Sox were hot a week ago and hopefully will be hot when they show up in Houston this weekend. 

Cora didn't blow the game for once which is nice.  I think he got used to his  hunches working out last year but this year not so much, probably because he thinks he can do no wrong.  They won so much last year he didn't really learn anything.

Sale didn't have Leon and maybe that's why his command suffered.  Whatever it is, I put it on Sale to get his head in the game and not get sidetracked if he can't have his favorite catcher in the game.  Are they going to have to re-sign Leon for the duration of Sale's contract to have any hope of Sale looking at least a little like the guy they thought they signed?
