BOSTON — Embarrassing. Ugly. Humiliating. Pathetic.
Pick an adjective for the Red Sox’s loss on Friday night, one of the worst in franchise history.
It was a performance so bad you couldn’t keep your eyes away, and unlike anything ever seen in the 110-year history at Fenway Park that even most of the sellout crowd of 36,796 in attendance didn’t leave as they watched their team go down by more than 20 runs in the fifth inning. When it was all mercifully over, the Green Monster scoreboard was almost impossible to believe.
