It took no more than 30 seconds for the Red Sox to blow the game and have the Rays walk off with a win over the Yankees to take the Wild Card. Red Sox fans were amazed but after how the rest of the month had gone it’s what was expected. Red Sox players were dropping like flies, we couldn’t hit, couldn’t pitch. Buchholz and Youk had been injured almost all year and our huge payroll hadn’t played out quite as we expected. Even 1978 wasn’t as bad a collapse as this. It felt like each game was waiting for it’s Buckner moment. As the Sox blew the 9th, you could see the Rays wanting it more and more while the Sox seemed to just be alright with where they were. Hell, I could’ve guessed Pap would throw another fastball. It seems the joke of, well there’s always next year has now been placed upon us. Francona has now left the building so we have an offseason of who will be the manager next season and will Epstein stick around. It’s gonna be a long offseason for Sox fans, but luckily we have some Bruins to look forward to…
