Sox Back on Track?

With a 9-2 win the offense looked back on track. Foulke also looked strong in the 9th and did not give up any runs. Foulke is the key component right now - as is the rest of the Sox pen.

With Schilling and Wells gone the Sox aren't in trouble if the replacements can keep the game close and the offense fires away. But if the bullpen continuously gives up runs late it will defeat any effort given by any minor leaguer or so forth.
A minor leaguer or replacement shouldn't be expected to go 8 or 9 innings only giving up 1 or 2 runs. He's going to give up a few runs which Boston's offense must account for. But Offense can't do everything -- the bullpen has to seal it up and keep it where it's at.
The bullpen still needs help and seeing how it grows the next few weeks could potentially be very telling about the season.

GO SOX!
