Final Score: Boston Red Sox 4, Tampa Bay Devil Rays 1Madness! Utter madness! It is pandemonium folks. The sky is falling, the seas are rising, men and women are spontaneously combusting. Dogs and cats living together! It’s mass hysteria. Say your prayers, count your blessing and cross your fingers because it’s the end of the world.
Yep that’s right… Julio Lugo got a hit. What’s even crazier? He got two hits. Even CRAZIER? He got a really big hit. With two outs and two runners in scoring position, the much maligned shortstop got an RBI base hit up the middle off his old teammate Scott “Sox Killer” Kazmir. Just as this happened the new airline/pork industry merger was approved, the Devil announced a new NHL franchise in the deepest pit of hell, and Scarlet Johansson baked me an amazing batch of chocolate chip cookies… in the nude. Yeah, I was shocked too.
You know who really deserves the credit for Lugo’s performance? The Fenway crowd. Last night he got a big hand and chants in every at bat. Tonight when he stopped in at first he got a standing “O” and it was genuine. It may just be the double digit lead in the division, but Sox fans seems to have let the negativity slide a bit this year. I mean, an 0-33 stretch of play deserves a little booing doesn’t it? I personally have called for Lugo’s ouster for over a month. I guess kudos are in order for the Sox fans that have decided to get behind and prop up this worthless sack of crap we call an infielder. Good for you people.
Meanwhile, Dice-K threw another 8 inning gem that he can stick in his “I guess I was freaking worth all that money” crown that I’ve seen him wear. If anyone has any doubts that the man for Japan is the real deal… then now’s the time to get all that out in the open so I can laugh at you. That’s 10 wins he’s carrying around now if anyone was counting.
It was a perfect night except for the boo-boo homer that Paps gave up to Pena in the 9th with 2 outs and nobody on. Somebody should remind Jonathan that it can’t be a save situation if YOU give up the runs that make it a 3 run game. Ah well. No harm (except to your ERA), no foul.
