@Region Philbis,
Yeah....it seems hard to fathom that it would end when they're in a winning streak. I understand they'd give quite a few tix away to charities and corporations and so they propped the attendance record up with give-aways.

@Ragman,

buchholz was in the zone today.
7 no-hit innings, 11 K's.
finally surrendered a broken-bat base hit in the 8th...

@Region Philbis,
I watched this game. His precision was that of a fine surgeon. Hope he stays in the zone the whole season.

@Ragman,

11 games in, the sawx' team ERA is a nifty 2.76.

call it the Farrell Effect...

@Region Philbis,
Or another way to look at it is the 'we-got-rid-of-Bobby-V-tumor' effect.

Notice the effect being removed from Bobby V. has had on Youkilis and what team he plays for now.

@Ragman,

true.

i think in youk's case, he did what a lot of players in their mid-30's do --
get serious about fitness and watch what they eat...

@Region Philbis,
of course that is true. Though the bitter feelings and vitriol started (as I know you know) when Bobby V started his team-busting campaign of making someone example (scapegoat) of when he picked on Yuke, the hardest working of the Sawx and the wrong guy to be made an example of.

Well, the guys are certainly hitting and playing as a team. Good to see that.

the Farrell Effect --

14 games into the season, no sawk starter has given up more than three earned runs...

@Region Philbis,
Lester (ERA cut in half and K/BB around 6:1) and Buchholz looking good as 1-2. Core of their relievers looking good too
