It may not have actually been the worst. But it felt like it.
The Red Sox commemorated the hundredth game of a horribly played season by losing a horribly played game Monday night, 10-8 to the Chicago White Sox.
There are times when this team--and other bad Red Sox teams of seasons past--have made an art of losing. They manage the ebbs and flows of a train wreck the way Picasso might wield a brush. Consider, for instance, their 13-10 loss to Toronto back in June. The one where they got ahead 8-1 and still found themselves down five runs by the end of the seventh.
