Sox Lack Hunger?

Hawk Harrelson has taken a lot of heat from the Sox brass and players for his comments that the Sox lack "hunger" and "killer instinct." Harrelson explains it like this, "Last year's team was going to get it. This year's team is waiting for it to come to them."

I think Harrelson's point is spot on. Last year, if a the Sox got a lead, they would come out the next inning bunting and moving runners along. They played the same with a lead as they did when they were behind. This year, they sit back and wait for the other team to make their charge. It is a subtle difference, but it is the difference between a first place and a third place baseball team.
