Our offense wasn't bad at all...we finished tied for 4th in the AL in OPS+, 6th in runs scored. Our starting pitching is what did us in this time around, with over 350 innings of ~80 ERA+ work from Tallet, Richmond, Cecil and Purcey.
If we had our 2009 offense (798 runs scored) matched with our 2008 pitching (610 runs allowed), you get a team with a predicted win total of 101 games...that would be the best Pyth. win-loss in the league by four games, by the by.
Of course, that ignores several things, including the fact that our offense improved at the cost of our defense, but yeah.

Hey, with a pythag of 101-61, we could have even managed enough real wins to beat out Boston!
Possibly. Maybe.

That and the usual situational hitting woes.
