We have a new Worst Call of the Month – Baseball Nation

"Iassogna totally bailed out Pedroia, who fumbled a one-hop liner before throwing (too late) to Stephen Drew. The only consolation for the Tigers: Drew didn’t get the relay to first base in time for the double play, and the Tigers scored three runs later in the inning."

"Jackson put together his best plate appearance of the playoffs, drawing a bases loaded walk that forced in a run. Iglesias hit a sharp grounder to second baseman Dustin Pedroia in his at-bat, but Pedroia fumbled the ball before retiring Jackson at second for the second out of the frame. Had Pedroia fielded it cleanly, the Red Sox would likely have turned the double play and gotten out of the inning. Instead, Iglesias beat out the throw from second, scoring Peralta. Hunter and Cabrera followed with a double and single, respectively, giving the Tigers a commanding 5-0 lead."
