Three painful 1-run defeats. Three blow-out wins (and a 1-0 beauty). That's the recipe for Pythagorean underachievement.

Fabulous starting pitching this week. 7 games, almost 7 ip/g, an ERA of under 3. What's shocking is what it looks like without Schilling.

The non-Schilling portion of the starting rotation has been outstanding so far. The bullpen's been shaky, in places and at times, but it doesn't look yet like anything other than early shakiness. I said over the winter that this was actually a better team than last year's, and I still think it is.
