The Boston Red Sox.

Red Sox add another epic collapse to their history

BOSTON » Move over, Bucky Dent. Step aside, Bill Buckner. Make room, incredibly, for Jonathan Papelbon.

The star closer is the stunned symbol of the latest Red Sox collapse. This one lasted a month and finally ended when there were no more games left to lose.

"This is just maybe the worst situation that I ever have been involved in my whole career," designated hitter David Ortiz said. "It's going to stay in a lot of people's minds for a while."

No team has blown a bigger lead in September a nine-game margin through Sept. 3 and missed the playoffs. Boston went 6-18 after that and did not win consecutive games at any point in the month.

Stunning.

"This is one for the ages, isn't it?" general manager Theo Epstein said, a blank stare on his face.

Some co-workers (and Mets fans) were just talking about that. Can understand why he did it, but still... pretty low.

The Braves (my team) blew a bigger lead. They just did it slightly slower. Well, I guess it was exciting for the Rays and the Cards.

I always wait until the playoff start to see if the Braves made it. They're a great team, just allergic to October.

Go Tigers!

Go Brewers! And since winning a MLB division doesn't happen much in Milwaukee, I'll say it again! GO BREWERS!

...Don't blow it.

thankfully we're into the playoffs now.... that means the season is getting that much closer to being over

Didn't make for a good night for me. However, the Red Sox had every opportunity to Win the division, and still didn't even come up with the wild card. I feel bad for the Rays players as they don't get a tenth of the support from their fans that they deserve.

Go sports team!

I think they were out playing golf all of september too

All that is left for me is to root against the Yanks, and the Series.

I'm a mets fan, I'm used to disapointment.
