Seriously the worst starting shortstop I have seen as a Red Sox in my lieftime. Last night witnessed another one of his game by game "memorable" moments. Lugo's lack of defense to his left was highlighted as he dove for the ball that Gardner hit. But it bounced in and out of his glove to give the Yankees the win First 2 seasons of 4 year/$36 million contract (option for 5th year at $9 million) 225 games- 190 for 817 (.233 avg) 49 Doubles, 2 Triples, 9 HRs, 92 RBIs, 96 Runs, 80 Walks, 131 Ks, 44 for 54 SBs Now Lugo signed that contract with Theo imagining him as the everyday leadoff hitter. "We can live with the defense because he'll make it up with the offense" He has made a team high 16 errors this season, last year he had a manageable 19. Last year he grounded into just 9 DPs, already he is at 13 last time I checked What helped him avoid heavy criticism was that he was able to drive in runs, 72. This year however... he'll be lucky to reach half that total RISP- 11 for 73 (.151 avg) Double, 17 RBIs, 14 Walks, 16 Ks RISP/2 Outs- 5 for 29 (.172 avg) Double, 4 RBIs, 8 Walks, 8 Ks

Happy Birthday :thumbsup: Wakefield last season vs New York in 3 games, 0-3 with a 10.93 ERA. At Yankee Stadium in 2 games, 0-2 with a 7.84 ERA. This season on the road in 10 games, 1-4 with a 4.02 ERA Chamberlain this season at home in 13 games, 1-1 with a 3.18 ERA

Masterson this season on the road in 3 games, 1-2 with a 4.58 ERA Mussina this season vs Boston in 2 games, 0-2 with a 9.35 ERA. At home in 11 games, 5-5 with a 4.10 ERA

Most of the damage done in Yankee Stadium during his tenure as a Red Sox, happened in his shaky 06 season At Yankee Stadium in 06 3 games (2-1, 7.53 ERA)- 14.1 innings, 17 Hits, 13 Runs (12 ER), 4 HRs, 7 Walks, 12 Ks At Yankee Stadium since... 3 games (1-1, 4.46 ERA)- 20.2 innings, 23 Hits, 10 Runs, 1 HR, 4 Walks, 15 Ks

That bulge in the home plate umps pocket must be a wad of cash

Man this guy's ears have an impressive wingspan

I was going on my game schedule magnet that said game time was 4:05. Didnt realize the game time had changed f***ING Lugo, god what a waste. He always has at least one "memorable" moment each game that is played Beckett this season on the road in 10 games, 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA. 3 games vs New York, 3-0 with a 4.01 ERA. At Yankee Stadium in 2 games, 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA Rasner this season at home in 5 games, 3-2 with a 3.48 ERA

Beckett's curse follows him, as the Sox bats have looked lost in just about every start of his

There we go, game needed by all. Especially one where the bullpen got a night off. A hell of a turnaround by Lester, truely incredible this year Lester is the first Sox pitcher since Hideo Nomo in 2001 to throw at least 2 shutouts. First lefty to do so since Bruce Hurts in 87 The offense hit often & hard early against Pettitte, Ellsbury and Varitek got some much needed hits to possibly bring them out of their slumps. Crisp's first game back was as if he hadnt missed 5 games (2 for 3, 2 runs, SB ). I heard somewhere that Crisp could be valuable trade bait if Ortiz comes back before the deadline

Lester this season on the road in 10 games, 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA Pettitte this season at home in 9 games, 3-4 with a 5.08 ERA

Pull your heads out of the asses, especially the bullpen, and actually win a game

Beckett has got s*** run support this year

Moehler is doing his best Houdini impression

The ump probably got pissy because Manny started walking off to 1st base without his call

Hey MDC, walks will kill ya! Especially when you walk guys who are free swingers

haha way to step up hansen

The decision not to pinch hit for Aardsma bites them in the ass. Cmon Hansen get out of this mess

Damn, Tek stays on track to get to the mendoza line

What a meltdown of an inning by Lester, and the inning started by him hitting the pitcher

This is Backe's 1st career start vs Boston. His previous 4 games were relief appearances vs the Red Sox, as a Devil Ray from 02-03

Lugo has grounded into 11 double plays. For the entire 07 season, he grounded into just 9 of them

This is Hernandez's first appearance in the majors since 06 with the Royals
