You need more than ten fingers to count the number of blunders carried out by the Red Sox last night in their
failed comeback loss to Houston, 12-8. Attempted steals of third with two out, throwing through to second on a first and third double steal, inserting a raw rookie pitcher into an 8-8 tie in the 10th inning, letting a groundball through the legs to open the extra-inning floodgates. Oh yeah, we almost forgot
Justin Masterson coughing up five runs to obliterate a 2-0 Boston lead and
Craig Breslow giving up a lead-off HR in the 8th of a tie game. There's more, we're just exhausted trying to remember it all.
Mookie Betts,
David Ortiz and
Pablo Sandoval each had two hits—but do you
really care?
