OT: Sox @ Rays. Wake Up the Bats.
Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays
V.
And the lineups.
No Lugo. 7-8-9 looks awful. Let's hope Ells can get something going to break out of his slump.

I'm almost certain
Lugo could’ve made that error.

It’s a good thing Cora has a good bat, or he’d be useless.

*Starts the slow clap for DD*
And wonders: while Cora sucks, is there anyone in MLB that has a good backup MIF?

Or one that even could've been predicted to be good.
Ramon Vasquez, as we all know, doesn’t count.

Man could he play 2B and/or SS. Amazing. And then he could run a little, which was good too.

Yep. Tito should've given him the night off (Extra Bases) anyway.
He hasn’t been such a strong asset lately that getting Casey’s singles into the lineup instead would’ve been a bad thing.

At this point, he's a great backup 2B defensively.
Range is average to subpar at SS, and he hasn’t played 3B in how long?
Also, good to see you.

But I guess he’s ok at 3B and 1B. Actually, Cora as a 1B is sort of funny with offense in mind. :)

Sit down, Hinske
I read that article in the site of SI, about knuckleballers, and they said Wake could even pitch until he’s 50 or so. I guess he couldn’t, but if such thing happens, I’m all in for it. He’s not the best pitcher ever, and sometimes he sucks, but I got a weakness for the knuckler.

Think about how good Wake would be with a great FB
Nobody would be able to touch his stuff. Not that I’m not cool with the ‘one’ he has, but he would be even better.

I don't think he'd be the same guy with a great FB
They’d probably have tried to make him develop a good curve or slider to go with it.
Just doesn’t work for me.

While you're right
The difference in speed of between a 90 MPH FB and a 60 MPH knuckler sounds very sexy and unhittable
