Then you look at Boston's pitching, and you wonder how the team has gone so far with so little. Jim Lonborg, it is true, has been phenomenal, and is the winningest pitcher in the majors.

But alas, the Army got a hold of Bobby shortly before the Patriots did, and so the Wonder Boy must serve a six-month stint in the Reserves before folks can see whether he's got what it takes...
