"I do not think it means what you think it means..."

The Red Sox allowed eight stolen bases to the Rangers last night, the second time this year that an opponent has stolen eight bases.

"Ironically, Brad Penny was on the mound when the Red Sox gave up eight to the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this season..."

- Sox announcer Don Orsillo

Maybe it wasn't actually irony - maybe, just possibly, it was cause and effect.
