You can look at the negative side and say we need to score more than 2 runs a game to beat the Yanks.
Or you can look at the positive side and say we beat the Yanks in a game where we scored only 2 runs.
I say look at the positive side. Without Everett, our offense seems pathetic. But we've won 3 of 5 scoring 2, 4, 3, 2, and 2 runs.
I'd say that's the Sox team that started out the year on fire. Pitching, defense, and just enough O to win the game.
GO SOX!
We've also won 3 of 5 hitting worse than really is possible...we've been at like a .220 clip in August as a team. That simply won't hold up - like everything statistical in baseball, it all evens out. We'll have a stretch of 8 games where we'll hit .300, and suddenly our team average will be back to .260, which is where it's been all year.
