It's fitting, isn't it? The Red Sox began their 'contention-ending' road trip with a 14-1
win at SkyDome, and they start their first lame-duck homestand with a
loss to those same Jays by that same
score of 14-1. This team has
clearly given up: they are beaten, humiliated and lifeless. The most disgraceful performance was
Felix Doubront in his petulant two-thirds of an inning—giving up six earned runs. Shameful. Five pathetic hits paced the "offense". They are worthy of a wholesale makeover at the Trade Deadline by GM
Ben Cherington. For loyal Red Sox fans to spend good money to be subjected to this baseball dreck is a travesty. A contingent of
FenwayNation staff will be attending tonight's game, and I can tell you there will be no rush to arrive early or stay late. My sole aim will be to sample the new vegan fare at America's Most Cramped Ballpark (
not!). Would the last fan please turn out the lights when you leave? Thank you.
