Julio Lugo, Beards, and Random Relief Selections
I mentioned this before. Nobody seems to listen. JULIO LUGO IS BAD MOJO!
We are now 0-2 for games Lugo has started. I don’t agree with Lugo’s anti-win magic.
The other less visible reason is this: Josh Beckett clearly does not have enough facial hair. Last night was a battle of the beards and Matt Garza’s beard was obviously much stronger in the end. Josh, you need to grow out that patch into a full beard. Get us some wins buddy.
Finally: Weird that my superstitions have been justified. I mentioned earlier that I was wearing Sox shirts during every win on the win streak. One day I had to wear my Braves shirt to coach, but the Sox/Twins game was rained out. I continued wearing the shirts until I ran out one day. That was when we lost our streak. Yesterday, I had to wear my Braves shirt again for coaching, and Sox lost again. I think i really need to make sure I’m wearing Sox shirts every day. I’m gettin some more for insurance… forshure…
On to my anaylsis of the game:
Only Javier Lopez can give up:
5 ER off 4 Hits in… wait for it….
0.1 Innings
Why is this kid still in the pen?
It feels like Tito is in an abusive relationship with Lopez. He keeps hurting us but Tito keeps putting him up there to give up runs and fail horribly.
I understand that we were behind, and you don’t want to waste your more valuable pen guys, but I’d honestly rather have you put in Van Every for another third of an inning than have Javier Lopez make Tampa’s lead bigger…
Either way, good job rookie. Clearly you have multiple uses. Please don’t take the mound again. I feel like you’re accidently becoming a copy of Nick Swisher.
My AL Roundup will be delayed until tonight, so you’re gonna get it later… be patient, finals week is taking its toll on me.
Tonight, we get to see Masterson, our savoir of this whole disabled list problem.
Lets get some quality innings out of your pitching Masterson!
Lets kill those aquatic creatures! I’ll have some stingray soup ready for everyone! Its on the house.
Wearing his Boston shirt,

Rook to HR-1, Checkmate.
!@#$%$
BRAD PENNY, JAVIER LOPEZ, AND JULIO LUGO…. We need to talk..
From the top:
Why are you not out of my rotation?:
Penny’s ERA tells a better story: 7.50 ERA with only 5 Ks and a 1.67 WHIP and 13 ER
That’s going INTO this game. Watch his ERA jump tomorrow, I’ll give you a post to show you.
Daisuke needs to come back, Masterson needs to take Penny’s spot. Either than or Clay needs to be called up to send this !@#% down to AA ball.
This just in: I’ve found Penny’s new ERA etc.. lets take a look.
He’s still 2-0 because Javier “White Flag” Lopez managed to make himself look like a bigger fool than Penny today.. but I digress:
8.66 ERA => 6 Ks => 1.98 WHIP => 17 ER
There is a good reason that games penny is in end up lit up on both sides by offense. Red Sox offense has to cover his junky pitching, and he gets lit up like a christmas tree.
Hunter Jones is the hero today, covering Penny and pitching 2.1 scoreless innings.. He’s a callup. He’s showing up Penny… this is sad. Our starter doesn’t compare to a rook callup.
I say lets ambush Penny and drop him into the ocean.
Next up:
Tito, Stop putting this man in, he blows leads faster than the Yanks blow through money.:
Javeir Lopez. I hope you leave the stadium in shame today. Javier Lopez played straight little league baseball today. Lets start from the top of the 9th.
Lopez is doing ok… he gets to two outs albeit putting someone on.
Coming around for the third out, there is a runner ready to score. Lopez pitches, Cabrera lines it to Youk.. who makes one of the best plays of the night to get to the ball. Lopez is running to first and gets on first, the play is a routine “pitcher covers first” type.
Then it happens. LOPEZ DECIDES TO LOOK AWAY FROM YOUK AND STARE AT HIS FEET! Youk throws and LOPEZ DROPS THE BALL as the winning run comes in. For shame Javier.
This is why you’re Javier “White Flag” Lopez. When you come in, we lose.
Finally:
Hate to say I told you so:
Ok, you’re not the worst offender of this group. Your bat was quiet decent today. I have to say it though…
Nick Green has outdefended and out batted Julio.
Nick Green was brought in later in the game as a defensive substitute for Julio.
Nick Green > Julio Lugo.
When Youk is making a routine throw to second, right at you, you shouldn’t drop it. You’re a shortstop, its your job to have a hot glove.
That concludes tonight’s post…
Julio Lugo, please get injured again.
Brad Penny, learn to pitch
Javier Lopez, go back to the minors
Not looking forward to class tomorrow,
-Mike
