Red Sox walk-off spoils Rays run

This just in: Fernando Rodney is mortal after all.

While it's always a plus to have a super-human closer, the Rays ninth inning heir-apparent gave up the game in regulation, allowing the tying and go-ahead runs on a home run to left center by Jarrod Saltalamacchia in the Rays' 3-2 Saturday night loss to the Sawks at Fenway.

Shit.

You know, the worst part of this loss was the lack of extra-curriculars. Where's James Shields when you need him? The Rays' old man in the rotation surely would have put the bean-ball on someone's thigh in recompense for Boston tagging Luke Scott in Friday night's game.

Lose-lose, I suppose.
