A little bit OT, but
Did anyone see what that MFER called Robert Horry did on David West? Once again, he takes down an all-star with back problems. Do not be surprised if the Sterns win again.
Man, I H-A-T-E the Spurs.

Can we talk about how the refs have screwed the C’s tonight?

refs?
c’s scored 2 points in the second half of the second quarter.
offense was atrocious. I’m tired of watching bench players try to bull their way through three defenders.

But the C's are going to win at home
I’m not worried about that. The NBA refs are AWFUL, really. It seems every game has at least 3 bad calls going on against the visiting team. Besides, as pointed by RickD, the C’s weren’t exactly in top form today. Still, they’re a much better team than the Cavs. Kind of bad to see how they didn’t win in the playoffs away from home as of yet, but I’m not worried at all.
As for Horry… That guy should not be allowed to play any kind of pro sports. He can’t do anything well enough these days. He can’t score, he can’t grab rebounds, he can’t defend. He earns his living by taking players down. At least he should try and do that with someone who doesn’t have a back problem. I wanna see him doing that against KG. HE, Horry, would end the day with back problems. :)

We're playing baseball at last
and Daisuke gets through a scoreless first. Partly thanks to Varitek for a very nice CS of Weeks.

When Jacoby is not playing, why not let Pedroia lead off and have Youk batting 2nd? Did I miss something?

Actually, I reckon you're right.
But to give the umpiring crew their due – how are they to know that Lugo didn’t screw up? The overwhelming body of evidence would point to failure.

Let's talk Lugo
—Out when ran into his own bunt!
—Missed the pick-off tag at second because he did not go low enough with his glove
—Hit into a double play again with nobody out and men on first and third.
I’m sure there will be more goodies before the end of the game.
WHY IS THIS SECOND RATE BALLPLAYER PLAYING FOR THE SOX??
by NG on May 17, 2008 6:06 PM EDT 0 recs
Wrong on all counts
The call on the bunt could have gone either way. The call at second was blown, plain and simple. Lugo got the tag down. As for the DP, that was a baserunning gaffe by Tek.

Lugo
definitely tagged out the runner at second for the pickoff. That was a horrible call. The double play, likewise, was not his fault, as Tek made a bad decision to try going home on the play. The bunt, I don’t know about.

I'm not making excuses
You just don’t know what you’re talking about. Watch the game and try to understand it before making knee-jerk remarks. To blame Lugo for the DP that Tek ran into and a blown call at second base is ridiculous. As for the bunt, that sort of thing happens occasionally (and I’m not sure Lugo was out of the box when the ball hit him).

Lugo cannot hit but his fielding is what keeps him in
I guess. Well he has more errors than any shortshot in the league, and even Francona is getting the message. Why did Francona remove Lugo for defensive reasons if that is his strenght? Anyway good thing he did because Cora made a nice play to help end the game.
