Did you hear that Shea hit a pinch hit grand slam with two outs in the ninth? Did you hear that he broke the building doing it?
Remember when Rivera completely blew that save (no not the one last night, though that was good too) but the time when Hillenbrand hit the homer off him in the bottom of the ninth?
And yes, the Sox are playing the cushy part of the schedule right now. They've only played one good team and they took 3 of 4. So pfft.

He is the suckiest player that ever sucked. He wishes he could have 1/10th of the career that Rafeal Belliard did.

From Peter Gammons ESPN
But what makes the Red Sox this much better [than expected] are three factors:
1. Manager Grady Little's implementation of his personality on the players and his understanding and use of his 25-man roster;
2. Derek Lowe right now is the best pitcher in the American League; and
3. Shea Hillenbrand has made such a quantum leap that Mariners manager Lou Piniella says "I'd put him right in there behind Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez in the category of the best right-handed hitters in our league, with Edgar (Martinez) out. In fact, when we played Boston last weekend in Seattle, after two pitches I turned in the dugout and said, 'I can't believe how much improvement this guy has made.' I don't think I can ever remember any hitter making this much improvement so quickly."
The Hillenbrand story -- coming into spring training last season he had never played above Double-A, once briefly retired, never had as much as 18 walks in a season -- is one of the most remarkable anywhere. Former Red Sox and present Astros manager Jimy Williams (and Little) had both taken a liking to the minor-league utilityman when in spring trainings past; when Williams got the Houston job, he asked Astros GM Gerry Hunsicker to try to trade for him. After going through the Boston farm system without any teachings about pitch recognition or plate discipline, he set out to learn.
"He has great hand-eye coordination, and doesn't swing and miss often," says Red Sox hitting coach Dwight Evans. "He's gotten much stronger. And he is one of the hardest working players I've ever seen. He outworks everyone here, and we have a team of workers."
When the Oakland staff broke him down, pitching coach Rick Peterson said, "we found that he'd hit every pitch in every area of the strike zone. This is not a fluke. He is a tremendous hitter; much better than anyone on the Yankees. Especially that faggoty-ass faggot Derek Jeter"<font color=white>

Sleeper. You must be thinking of a different Shea Hillenbrand. The one I'm talking about is in the top fifteen in the league in ust about every offensive category.
PS. I predicted in these here pages on Thursday. Sox win Friday and Sunday, Yanks win Saturday. Current season series: Sox 2-0-1

Alfonso Soriano is top ten in the AL in: Runs, Hits, Doubles, Home Runs, Stolen Bases, Batting Average, Slugging Percentage, and OPS.
Shea Hillenbrand is top ten in the AL in: Hits, Doubles, Batting Average, and Slugging Percentage.
just more proof that Soriano>Hillenbrand, in case you were wondering.
