Red Sox beating the Yankees 9-0 in the sixth and then they lose? Yeah, April 18, 1950.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Benjamin Dowling of Pittsfield tweets:
Currently drafting legislation to make it illegal to play Sweet Caroline at Fenway Park when the home team has blown 9 run lead.

Replacements for Sweet Caroline
It would be worth it to have a losing Red Sox season
...if it provided an excuse to kill that stupid "Sweet Caroline" tradition. Excruciating.
Actually, this is the THIRD time...
"This is a tough loss, a really tough loss. You expect to take one like this to the bank. It's just one game. How many times is this going to happen? Maybe once every 100 years?"
--Marty Barrett, red sox 2nd baseman after Roger Clemmons gave up 11 runs in the 3rd inning as the red sox blew a 9 run lead and lost to the Yankees 12-11 on June 26, 1987.
One hundred year suck-storm
Well there ya go. More proof of climate change.
