Well, we split the series with Boston. Lost the first, won the middle two and lost the final in heartbreaking fashion. Hughes lost to Lester 2-1, but being outpitched is not the story here; the story is Posada's career-long inability to do defense. This is the inning that won the game for Beantown.
