What a stupid loss!

Stupid stupid stupid!

A 3 run lead against the putrid A's at home... a chance to pick up a game on the Yankees... and 2 outs in the 9th they rally... 2 outs in the 11th with NOBODY ON they rally again?

Folks, we can't get these games back! And after weeks of no offense from the Sox they lose a game where they score 7???

Don't even talk to me!

I don't even want to talk to anyone. But I do need to update the tally.
