Between the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots, the great City of Boston owns Texas-based professional sports teams. A combined 11-0 comes to mind. I thought I’d mention it, because it feels great.

Bring out the brooms Sox fans, because our boys just crushed the Texas Rangers in a four-game sweep that resembled the power of one of our great city’s roadside street cleaners.

Let me start off by saying that the Red Sox combined to outscore the Rangers 30-14 over the four-game set.

In Game 1, the Sox won 11-3 in a contest that was highlighted by designated hitter David Ortiz crushing a simply marvelous grand slam; it was the eighth slam of his career. Good old “Dice-K” netted his fourth victory of the year while surrendering five hits and notching four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Second baseman Dustin Pedroia mashed his first home run of the season with a sweet two-run bomb. I just don’t know how his 5-foot-9, 180-pound frame packs so much punch.

Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has some fun with Comcast SportsNet’s Gary Tanguay on Mohegan Sun’s Sports Tonight on February 21st at the Punk Shell Resort as part of CSN’s Spring Training coverage. This incident began with Gary doubting the eventual Rookie of the Year during his early season slump. Needless to say, Pedroia did not forget about it.
