With a 3-0 Angels lead in the ninth, Huston Street gave us one epic buttercup loss to remember.
Angels 3 Red Sox 5
What should have been a 3-0 Angels shutout victory, clinching a four-game Red Sox series win, giving the fans in attendance something to smile about as the exited the Big A, turned into a basket full of buttercups.
Really, there is barely any scenario that better defines “buttercup”, in it’s re-appropriated, Halos Heaven meme usage infamy, than today’s contest. It’s not the biggest, most horrible buttercupping, but it’s failure, simple yet heart breaking, is a perfect example of what it means when we say “Buttercup”.
