Wow



Um... I'm supposed to write about this game?

Really?

The Red Sox blew a 10-1 lead late... to the Orioles. The above video is a wonderful representation of the game.

What is there to say? It was supreme suckage. The team should be embarrassed. It was grotesque.

And the beauty of baseball is that there is another game tomorrow. Win and this will be an unfortunate hiccup.

But man it sucked.

Let's update the board.

Going into July at EVEN.

Come on Beckett! Win tomorrow and the Sox win the series.

But essentially when I saw the final score of tonight's game, I reacted a lot like this guy when he saw the trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
