A look back at Red Sox’ September losses 09.27.11 at 11:27 am ET
By

The Red Sox’ 6-3 loss to the Orioles Monday night allowed Tampa Bay to tie Boston in the wild card standings. It also put Boston’s record at 6-19 in September, giving the team the worst winning percentage of any team in franchise history for September. The 19 losses are the second-most losses in September in franchise history, behind only the 1952 Red Sox’ 20 losses. Here is a look back at Boston’s collapse.

Sept. 1 vs. Yankees, 4-2: Jon Lester lasts just five innings and the Red Sox bullpen allows three runs in the seventh. Red Sox lead AL East by 1/2 game.

Sept. 2 vs. Rangers, 10-0: The Rangers beat up on Andrew Miller and the Boston bullpen, while the Red Sox offense is nonexistent. Red Sox lose lead in AL East to Yankees, still lead Rays by nine games in AL wild card standings.

Sept. 4 vs. Rangers, 11-4: Texas scores seven runs in the sixth. Red Sox lead down to eight games in wild card.

Sept. 5 vs. Blue Jays, 1-0: The Sox receive solid pitching, even after Josh Beckett leaves in the fourth with an ankle injury, but there is no offense in Toronto’s 1-0, 11th inning win. Red Sox lead seven games in wild card.

Sept. 7 vs. Blue Jays, 11-10: Despite Jacoby Ellsbury‘s four hits, including a three-run HR, the bullpen gives up five in the eighth. Red Sox still lead at seven games in wild card.

Sept. 8 vs. Blue Jays, 7-4: Toronto scores five early runs to power the Jays victory. Red Sox lead 6 1/2 games in wild card.

Sept. 9 vs. Rays, 7-2: John Lackey leaves the game after getting hit by a line drive in the third and Wade Davis pitches a complete game. Red Sox lead 5 1/2 games in wild card.

Sept. 10 vs. Rays, 6-5: The Red Sox tie the score at five apiece in the ninth, but Evan Longoria hits a walk-off single in the 11th. Red Sox lead 4 1/2 games in wild card.

Sept. 11 vs. Rays, 9-1: Lester lasts just four innings, Matt Albers gives up a grand slam and Boston’s offense can’t muster more than a run. Red Sox lead 3 1/2 games in wild card.

Sept. 14 vs. Blue Jays, 5-4: Daniel Bard gives up three runs in the eighth. Red Sox lead four games in wild card.

Sept. 15 vs. Rays, 9-2: Tampa’s offense goes off while Boston can only score two. Red Sox lead three games in wild card.

Sept. 17 vs. Rays, 4-3: Lester picks up the loss after giving up four runs in seven innings. Red Sox lead three games in wild card.

Sept. 18 vs. Rays, 8-5: Four passed balls, two wild pitches and two errors haunt Boston in the regular season finale between the teams. Red Sox lead two games in wild card.

Sept. 19 vs. Orioles, 6-5: In the first game of a day-night doubleheader, the Orioles jump out to an early lead. Red Sox lead 1 1/2 games in wild card.

Sept. 20 vs. Orioles, 7-5: The Sox bullpen gives up three in the eighth to blow Boston’s lead. Red Sox lead two games in wild card.

Sept. 21 vs. Orioles, 6-4: Beckett has a poor start, giving up six runs in 7 1/3 innings. Red Sox still lead two games in wild card.

Sept. 24 vs. Yankees, 9-1: Lester gets lit up for eight runs in 2 2/3 innings in the Yankees’ 9-1 win. Red Sox lead 1 1/2 games in wild card.

Sept: 25 vs. Yankees, 6-2: Ellsbury’s two homers aren’t enough in the first game of a doubleheader. Red Sox lead 1/2 game in wild card.

Sept. 26 vs. Orioles, 6-3: Robert Andino‘s inside-the-park HR breaks a sixth-inning tie and gives the Orioles the win. Red Sox and Rays tied in wild card standings.

    Wondering why the 2011 Red Sox went 2-10 in April and 7-19 in September (can you say 1962 Mets bad)? Here are a few names you should know:

    Curt Young, Pitching Coach
    Thomas Gill, Team Physician
    David Page, Strength and Conditioning Coach

    Of course there’s also: Theo Epstein, GM and Terry Francona, Head Coach

    All are responsible. All should be held accountable.

    6 of the games we scored more than 4 runs and we still lost. 15 of these games the other team scored more than 5 runs off the pitching. Pitching, Pitching, pitching. Yes we did get shutout twice and only scored once in two, but that is only 4 games. Our pitching is Awful.

      The rotation of 2012 is well set. Lester, Buchholz, Beckett should be fine. Theo would be wise to move Lackey, despite the cost, who is becoming a more visceral fan and media target than Lugo or Gagne. He badly needs a change. Would you sign Bedard to an incentivized contract? Matsuzaka will be back by mid-season and could be throwing harder than ever. Theo has not nickled and dimed this rotation, though they have performed that way. What about our own ‘kids”? Why not get Doubront or Tazawa ready for next season? Why not give Weiland and Bowden a legit, consistent shot in the Pen, one inning at a time, because that’s where they both excel. Would you sign Papelbon long term? Bard? This is a really good rotation and bullpen, and expensive. With the third largest payroll in baseball, there wasn’t much skimping. IMO it’s time to blow up the payroll, bring it back to normal, and bring up the kids, including Lavarnway.

    Really??? How about holding the players accountable for staying in shape..all anybody can do is document and report..perhaps we should be looking into how much players were fined for not working out or keeping their bodies in condition..I can’t imagine being a strength and conditioning coach with all the arrogance and selfishness..give Dave Page a break!!

    I like the idea of darker shades on dark (gray). The blue sounds good, but since it is a bathroom, you could get away with a darker purple, too.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
