That's one more than every other team in baseball. Why do we - I mean - you care so much about '06? I don't even know where to go with this or why I even bothered. Steve C is right.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-209392">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> They won a WS championship in 2007 (not to mention earlier w/o Beckett).

I don’t even know where to go with this or why I even bothered. Steve C is right.

So, no, his numbers were not great that postseason.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-209390">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #165@Stephen: The point is that the Red Sox didn’t make the postseason in 2006, thanks in part to Beckett’s 5.01 ERA.

Kevin,

They’re going to inscribe your headstone, for better or worse, with the phrase “Check out the sample size, stupid.”
