Baseball's Best Pen Melts Down

I guess it should have kept raining.The best bullpen in baseball had its worst game of the season last night. A 10-1 lead went down the drain in the last two innings, as Baltimore scored five in the seventh and five more in the eighth to win, 11-10. Everyone who followed John Smoltz was terrible. This game reminded me of June 4, 1989, a game where the Sox had a 10-0 lead after six innings against Toronto at Fenway, and wound up losing 13-11 in 12 innings.It was awful but not the end of the world.A number of things to keep in mind while trying to shake off this mess.The Red Sox have a game on Wednesday afternoon, just hours after this terrible game ended.Josh Beckett, who has been sensational the last month, takes the mound, and surely won't be in a giving mood.The Red Sox are 2 1/2 games up, as New York won last night.The Sox can take yet another road series with a win on Wednesday.The best bullpen can have bad nights. The Sox pen has been simply superb this year. But hopefully ...
