Nats bullpen gives up eight runs late in 11-3 loss to Red Sox
Red Sox Feel Right At Home – The Post
Bullpen no match for Boston mashers – The Wash. Times
John Lannan did not have his best stuff, but still gave the Nationals 6 1/3 innings, allowing three Boston runs. The Nats had had matched the Red Sox, so the situation was pretty good in the seventh. By the ninth, the tie score was a distant memory as the Red Sox blasted the Washington bullpen for eight runs to win 11-3. Again, let’s thank Jim Bowden for putting this bullpen together. Tyler Clippard, where are you? Syracuse, yes we know, but why?
My friend Tiffany in Western Mass. is no doubt pleased by the results and I am bound to hear about it today.
The new Boston road uniforms are pretty ugly.
Between the gamers and Twitter, I don’t have a feel for the crowd breakdown. How was it?
Washington Nationals, Nats, Boston Red Sox
More fans for the Red Sox, sure. But we've been outnumbered at home against the Phillies, Cubs and Mets before too. Red Sox fans were everywhere, but they really didn't make much noise until they exploded with that big lead late in the game. Perhaps, I had unrealistic expectations for their engagement with the game, but I was unimpressed. And every single Nats season ticket holder actually showed up, unlike usual, which meant there were a lot of Nats fans there too.
