A win is a win, and that’s what we got last night thanks to Josh Beckett, or as I like to call him, God. Still, there are a few things worth venting over. Making another appearance to do just that is friend and co-worker Matt:
Please refrain from using Coco’s last name when discussing him.
For the rest of the playoffs, please refer to him as Coco Crap.
Also, if you see Lugo playing SS tomorrow night without a glove…yes, I stole it. He did nothing with it last night, and he doesn’t need it, as evident by the play of Lowell where he charged in front of Julio for the Blake groundout.
Thank you.
Heh.
UPDATE FROM MATT:
I’m sorry, I can’t take credit for ‘Coco Crap’ – that was from Angry Bill this morning on WEEI.
As far as Lugo, I just thought it was hilarious how he kept on trying to get into every play for no reason. And then Lowell just cuts him off and makes a great play. Lugo doesn’t bother me as much as Crap. He is so out of it that his swings don’t even look like swings. Ellsbury is more of a spark plug than Alex Cora at this point and Cora is not a better player than Lugo. I don’t think you can worry about losing Crap because…well, he’s gone. He has that same look on his face of no hope each AB and NO ONE talks to him in the dugout.
This weekend is going to be special for three reasons…1, Schilling is one of the best big time pitchers of all time, 2, Cleveland does not have that killer instinct, and 3, I look forward to a Daisuke masterful performance on Sunday night with him ending it with the Derek Lowe crotch thing that Lowe did to Oakland in the 2003 ALDS…HA HA HA!!
By the way, saith Matt on the phone just now, "I’m a true blue Red Sox fan who had no worries about last night." Well said.
