'Also, your avatar reminds me of a modern day fairweather "Red Sox fan."'
I used to live in Boston. In fact I'm moving back to go to college @ BC. So I am quite found of Boston sports teams. I just wonder how you get the above comment? But, however, you do bring up some very good points. With the way we are playing I would say that it is do or die! It seems like at the beginnig of the year the Sox were having the same problem; clutch hitting and bullpen.
The backend of the bullpen has been great because of Papelbon. Timlin has struggled of late, but I'm not to worried about him. Delcarmen is having a decent season! But Tavarez and Seanz, give me a break! Have they ever been good? If the Sox get on fire I would watch out!!
Detroit is having a fantastic season and will run away with the central, but the Sox did do well against them this year, so that would be a good series
