Red Sox Bullpen Blows Up Against Orioles
Normally being down 10-1 is a cue for a team to pack it in, but don’t tell that to the Baltimore Orioles, who fell 9 runs behind to the Red Sox Tuesday night and ended up winning the game. They did it by scoring 5 in both the 7th and 8th innings, the final, game-winning run coming with Jonathan Papelbon on the hill (the run was actually credited to Takashi Saito).
I’m guessing Papelbon didn’t figure he’d be getting any work in that game, after the Sox went up 10-1. That’s normally the kind of night where the closer can take off his cleats, find a nice quiet corner away from the battery-chuckers and have a snooze. Sucks when you’re in the middle of a nice sex dream and someone shakes you and says, “Dude, get warmed up,” and you’re like, “But we were up 10-1 bro,” and he’s like, “That was before man. This is now.”
