i'd be thrilled about the bullpen change but...isn't this just 6 of one, half dozen of another?

Tonight at 11: Pope Alive, Sox Dead

The real mystery is how it took so long for the AL to figure out that the Sox only had a 2-man offense.

Hey Redsock how about posting the puppy's picture again - it was a much happier thought than the Ded Sox. Why am I a BoSox fan? I keep forgeting but I always show up for the humiliation!

For those of you who, like me, can not seem to put our arms around the totality of what is wrong with this team, I would suggest you read Bob Ryan's column in Today's Boston Globe.

He summarizes all the truths associated with this moribund pack of losers with the steady delivery and detached objectivity that one might otherwise only expect to find from a physician delivering a terminal illness diagnosis (not an ill-fitting analogy at the moment).

"6-15 record since Tek went down. Beckett a NL fraud. Damon energizes NYY clubhouse. Timlin at the end of the line. BOS lets Myers go to NYY so he can be brought in to face one guy - Ortiz." It's all there, and it's not a pretty picture.

The only one who skates away clean here, interestingly enough, is Francona. His myriad failings in crucial game situations over the last four days have unequivocally answered the question I have posed repeatedly in this space. Namely, that when the Sox have won, it has been in spite of his presence rather than because of it, and he was again out-maneuvered and out-managed by Joe Torre.

38 games to go beginning with a 9-game West Coast swing. Anything less than 6-3 and we can kiss any Wild Card aspirations goodbye.

We will go on. And we miss Tek much more than most fans admit. It's still August. '67 and '78 heroics are needed. And hard to come by, too.
