The Red Sox from the same era had the same problem; a prolific offense with no pitching to back it up. The year they scored over 1,000 runs (1950) they had one pitcher with an ERA below 4.00 (Mel Parnell at 3.61; next closest was Joe Dobson at 4.18. Curiously, that was Dobson�s only All-Star season, despite putting up better numbers other years). The other posters hit it on the head: pitching dominates, and they didn�t have it.
