Our cup runneth over in Boston Sports disasters last night....
The only question left to be answered is which sports disaster was worse?
The Celtics 3rd quarter or the Red Sox 2nd inning?
It's going to be a photo finish.....
Let's eliminate the importance factor....Celtics in a playoff game and the Red Sox in last place....
Here are the facts....
Celtics ahead by 8 at the half , down by 17 after 3rd quarter
Miami outscores Boston 39-14 in the 3rd Quarter
25 point difference..
Outscored Boston 22-2 out of the gate
First Celtic field goal came more than 7 minutes into the quarter....
Boston was 2 of 15 in the quarter....
Jason Tatum had 6 turnovers in the 3rd quarter alone....
Jimmy Butler outscored the Celtics in the 3rd quarter 17-14
The Red Sox gave up 9 runs to Houston in the second inning of last night's game on there way to a 13-4 loss
5 Astros home runs in the 2nd inning....
All of them hit off of Sox ace Nathan Eovaldi
3rd pitcher in MLB history to give up 5 HR's in one inning....
Here is the sequence for the inning...
HR/E/HR/HR/FO/S/D/HR/GO/S/HR/.....pitching change....
Sox had 2 key errors in the second to extend the inning....(Devers and Cordero)
Eovaldi ends up with an odd line for the game....1 2/3 innings/ 8 hits/ 9 runs/ 6 ER/ 0K's/ 0BB
One guy actually caught 2 of the homerun balls from his Monster Seat....one was a bank shot off the back wall....the other a clean catch on the fly ball.....
Which is worse?
Take your pick...
I'm holding my vote to see if Mac Jones throws 8 picks in the first quarter at Miami in the opener.
