There was an unmistakable feeling that this game was not going to end well even when the Red Sox still held a lead. But the lead vanished quickly and then the horror of the top of the ninth inning dragged on and on and on ...
I would have rather the Red Sox said "Fuck this" and walked off the field and given Cleveland a win by forfeit. As far as the standings, it would have been the same loss as what actually happened, but we would have been spared the sight of Ryan Brasier imploding (again) and Travis Lakins pitching as though he expected a hefty fine every time he threw a strike.
