Two interesting stats from the numbers crunchers at Sons of Sam Horn:

A) "The Sox are 47-3 when tied or leading after six innings."

B) "The sad flipside is we're 1-30 when down after 8 innings."

In other words...

A) This bullpen has done a whole lot better than any of us could have ever expected.

B) The joy of walk-offs has been seriously lacking so far this season. As “Steve Brady” points out, “we've had nine walkoff wins each year since 2004, but only one this year.”

Now, just maybe, we know why.

If it happened last year, why are we just hearing about it now? And why on earth didn’t it get taken care of over the off-season?

Sure, he had a helluva game last night. But these deflated power numbers are very worrisome. And even if we do make it to the post-season, we know from experience that having power in October helps. A lot.

At least Manny and Lugo are starting to pick up the slack.

And don’t look now, but Tim Wakefield is on pace for 20 wins.
