In Boston yesterday, the Red Sox apparently were having a two for one sale on losses, as they dropped the conclusion of a suspended game from Friday night, then dropped the actual scheduled Saturday game, managing to hone to perfection the "one run less than we need" strategy that is becoming a theme of the 2010 season.
After tying Tampa and their wunderkind Wade Davis 1-1 through 9 frames, former Phillie and missing man Pat The Bat Burrell wielded his bat and clubbed a two run shot off of old friend MDC to claim a 3-1 victory for the Naughty Fish.
Not happy with just ruining Game 10, Burrell ruined Game 11 for Boston by clubbing a bases loaded double in the very first inning off of a very shaky Cowboy Clay Buchholz. Boston would rally late, eventually losing 6-5 to push their record to an unlovely 4-7.
Boston plays Tampa again today, and then one final time on Marathon Monday, the famous Patriots' Day early start. Their next win is scheduled for May 14.
