I think something went horribly wrong when he was coming out of the birth canal. oh man, even the horrid bleached look will not distract me from thinking it’s a midget head on a regular sized body.

Sharp yet appropriate. To all you Boston 'fans' who believe your shallow criticisms have merit I'd like to remind you that you're labeling Theo a buffoon by doing so. I'm a Lugo fan, or more to the point - I'm a Theo fan. Kudos, John. Sharp yet appropriate.

Nice one there. The fact is, anyone who is actually a "Julio Lugo fan" has clearly never actually watched Julio Lugo play actual baseball.

I love Sarah and her hatred for Julio Lugo. It's great to hear a fan admit they detest a player even though he's on their favorite team. John,

The way you speak about sport, about baseball and about people is thoroughly disgusting. You know nothing. You are not a paid baseball analyst or on Boston's payroll. You nothing of what happens in the clubhouse, in the general managers office and you don't know anyone of great significance which is why you sound like a fool. You read scouting reports by men who are paid to watch young men play a game. And then you try to make it sound like you have all the answers. Dark magic...good one. You are not a fan of baseball nor could you be a real fan of the Boston Red Sox. There are Julio Lugo fans. As: There are Manny Ramirez fans. There are David Ortiz fans. There are JD Drew fans. There are Coco Crisp fans. There are Dustin Pedroia fans. There are Youk fans. There are Jason Varitek fans. There are Jacoby Ellsbury fans. There are Terry Francona fans. There are plentiful fans for every single person on the team and in the clubhouse.... All of these players make up the great team that won a spectacular championship and I hope they win more...and they will. I am a fan of Julio Lugo and I am a fan of the Boston Red Sox. Your fandom is sleek, snappy and full of bunk. You are dirt Sarah Green. The way you speak about sport, about baseball and about people is thoroughly disgusting.

So I could see some sort of multi-team deal going thru before the trading deadline that the Sox get to throw Crisp into, if Billy Beane has any say in it. they definitely have TOO many 4th outfielder options right now, so I definitely can't see them trading for another one. Jed Lowrie and Sean Casey have both the infield corners covered, if they want to play Lowrie as a bench guy for a season to see how it goes. I don't see them looking for a star reliever, seeing the failure that was Gagne. the best thign for them would be a backup catcher - God forbid they should ever have to use little Pedro behind the plate. and they should really look to get that thru a multi-team trade. Sarah - any "word on the street" about Lugo? I would love to get trade rumors started on him, you know, just to plant the seed...what I would give to have Theo's ear, and just maybe once a day casually mention, "so, I hear so-and-so may be available, and they are really interested in Lugo." well, Beane is also known to get a lot of different teams involved and somehow end up with the guy he wants – I couldn’t even draw on a map for you some of those trades from Moneyball.
