Bullpens have ups and downs just like any other part of a team. They weren't going to go the entire season without blowing a couple or three games in a row. It happens to every team.
So my dog had been pestering me to go out for a good 35 minutes, and I kept saying "after the game, Saint. It's almost over." After the Boston HR in the 11th, I said, "alright, buddy, let's go for a walk." Bad decision, ha ha!
