Is it possible to be 'not caught' and 'caught' at the same time? For these 2011 Red Sox, to paraphrase Sarah Palin, "You betcha!"Last night's hero Jacoby Ellsbury made a valiant try to catch Robert Andino's long fly ball but lost it the collision with the center field wall. An inside-the-park 3-run HR ensued—and it might have been the symbolic end to the Red Sox post-season hopes. The Rays beat the flopping Empire, so, indeed, Boston's night could be summed up as "not caught/caught". The result was the 19th loss of a forgettable September, 6-3.
Two (or maybe three) more to decide whether this season will be remembered as an epic disgrace or a wild, improbable ride to glory.
