0 - 1

I can't believe I just stayed up until 3:00am watching the Red Sox blow more golden opportunities than most people see in their lifetimes.

Squarely bearing the blame are:
Manny Ramirez - 0 for 5, 5 men stranded with 2 outs early in the game.
Byung-Hyun Kim - Walked one and hit one (on a 1-2 count) in a 1-run save situation.
Alan Embree - Gave up the tying hit.
Grady Little - Intentionally walked struggling Long to get to Hernandez.
Derek Lowe - Couldn't keep men off the bases in the 9th; couldn't react to a bunt.

Fie! Fie on all of you! Now rest up and win tomorrow!
