It is one of the worst, yes. . ..in fact, I wouldn't say that there is anything more dramatic in my data base. Randy Johnson in 1994 (5-4-1994) gave up 11 runs in 2 1/3 innings to the Blue Jays, Game Score -5; Randy WAS a great pitcher by then. That scores at Negative 5; Felix today was Negative 6. Roy Halladay and Zack Greinke both had worse games, but in both cases before they had become great pitchers.

So here the M's were on a run going into Fenway, trying to climb out of the coffin, and then .... THE most cursed start ever by a pitcher in major league baseball. (You know what I mean.)
