No, this is not the same team who came back from 3-0. That team had Pedro and a strong bullpen, and an emotional clubhouse guy, Millar. We also had a pretty good rotation with Lowe, Wakefield and Arroyo behind the big 2. This team has a streaky offense, only occasionally providing support behind Manny and Papi. We have Schilling, our ace, not as good as he was in 2004. We have Wells, who has been good lately, but who knows what he will do in his last month of his career. Josh Beckett, hopefully our ace of the future, is our shithole of the present, giving us a lovely 5.35 ERA, and the nickname of Nuke LaLoosh (deservingly). Jon Lester, a quality starter in the first few of his starts, collapsed, and honestly, who didn't see it coming? A rookie brought up too early, and when he won, he just barely did it, getting out of a lot of serious jams. He is now about as reliable as Lenny DiNardo. Jason Johnson sucks.
