John Kalafarski Red Sox fans will know that things are coming together for the Sox as we head into the postseason. Matsuzaka looked very good last start and Shilling's improvement has been steady. Okajima has gotten some much needed rest and has looked close to his old self lately. Manny just came back from an oblique and David Ortiz has been hitting the ball well (took a cortisone shot to the knee and will have surgery come the off season). Youkilis just came back from being hit on the wrist and appears ready to go. Health is a good thing to have at this time. However, I think any of the four AL teams could take it. Too bad about the Mets; I was rooting for Pedro's return to Fenway.
