It's really a shame. The Sox played well tonight. I was worried about the bullpen at the start of the year. At first, it seemed my fears were unfounded. But we've had three of these meltdowns already this year.
When you're an offensively-challenged team, you gotta be able to close out with a one- or two-run lead late. This Sox team isn't going to be able to win a lot of 8-1 games. Gotta win 4-3 and 4-2 most of the time.
