The month of May could end up being the cruelest one for the Red Sox. They've finished up the month seven games under .500 with
a brutal 4-3 walk-off loss that is tinged with some controversy. Up by one run in the ninth,
John Farrell decided to walk
Prince Fielder (the best hitter in the AL) to get to a pinch-hitting
Josh Hamilton (the returning
Prodigal Son). Of course, Hamilton doubled into the gap scoring two runs and handing
Koji Uehara a blown save
and a loss. This, after
Joe Kelly had pitched
barely well enough to get a stay of execution—albeit with a shaky five innings. On top of everything else, Boston's defense has begun to unravel—as they
committed three errors today. Good riddance, May.
