Last year, the Sox were doing the bullpen by committee. They had Todd Walker and Grady Little.

This year, they have a great bullpen with Foulke. Also, Curt Schilling. Great spirit and player in Pokey Reese and a new manager Francona.

Is it me or does last year's team have more "heart" and statistically more come from behind victories?

The flip side of this year is that the bullpen has been able to close out a lot of wins
thus not having the Sox fall behind and have to come back from a win.

I don't think I am making sense. Gosh, last night's loss sucked.

I did suck, bro. I listed to the game on WCBS (Yankees radio) beacuse it's all I can get down here. That made it suck even more. I think all in all the team balances it out in talent from last year to this year. But the defenisve errors are more and that is KILLING THEM. Pokey's the man.

We'll see. There is still half a season to go.

Last night hurt a lot.

The thing about last night's game was that both teams were running on empty. Leskanic was the only pitcher left (and DiNardo), Millar was playing RF (which he wouldn't do in a perfect world)

Hell, the Yankees played Gary Sheffield at third (which he hadn't done in a decade).

I just think luck is against the Sox right now. They'll turn it around.
