How did I know this would happen?

I didn't even watch as Ortiz popped out to end the game. I knew he didn't have a chance. I knew the Red Sox didn't have a chance at winning.
This happened for a few reasons. First of all, Fausto Carmona is suddenly Cy Young after being Letroy Hawkins as the closer against Boston for two games last year. He ate the entire lineup for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and left after 8 redonculous innings. I had some hope when Borowski came in, but alas.
Second and the rest, they made idiots of themselves. Julio Lugo getting caught stealing in the 8th. Varitek and Cora screwing up the signs.
Worst of all, Coco slowing up on the run home, he ends up getting thrown out at the plate. Wow. I didn't think Coco would ever not hustle. I guess he saw Josh Barfield hesitate before throwing home, and he though he'd have an easy go of it to tie the game at 1. Oh no, Coco. Barfield throws a seed to Victor Martinez who stones him at the plate. Gah.
Joshy Bear must be absolutely livid. He's 0-2 in his last two starts, giving up three runs combined. He was getting a shitload of run support before, and all of sudden, it's like Wakefield's pitching in the beginning of the year. They decide, eh, whatev, we'll let you pitch and see what happens.
I'm still not sure how I feel throwing Kason Gabbard out to win a series against one of the AL's best teams. We'll see what happens. 3 out of 4 I'll, a 4 game split will be disappointing. Yes, I just crowned their asses! And the Red Sox let em off the hook!
