Tom Caron: Bullpen spells doom for Red Sox's playoff chances
Briefly

"Red Sox fans got an ugly reminder Sunday that Boston didn't have enough relief pitching to get to the promised land this season."
"Sox relievers have the highest bullpen ERA since the All-Star break. It was a glaring problem in the ninth inning when relievers gave up five runs to one of the worst teams in major league history."
"Richard Fitts delivered with an impressive big-league debut. Fitts limited Chicago to six singles over 5 2/3 innings, continuing a good run of starting pitching for Boston."
"The Sox got Greg Weissert - an important part of their middle relief group - and Nicholas Judice, who is wrapping up his first pro season, as part of the trade for Verdugo."
