Right, the '04 team won the WS **AFTER** getting hot after the all star break during which they traded Nomar. Their fortunes clearly and obviously took off after getting rid of him.
Yes, the '08 team did fine to come back from down 3-1 to ultimately lose to a team with less than half the Red Sox' (absurd) payroll. Hard to be too impressed with it, really.
