What a difference a day makes. Tuesday night it looked like Tito finally saw the light of day and puts out this lineup:

Pedroi-er
Yooooks
Papi
Manny
Drew
Doubles
Coco
Belli
Lugo

Brilliant I think. You’ve got two OBP guys batting in front of Papi and Manny, and the guys whose legs are so fast they apparently can’t get them to first base batting 7th and 9th. Sure, they only scored two runs, but it was one more than the Rockies, and that’s what counts. Well, then the lineup comes out for Wednesday and it looks like this:

Coco
Yooooks
Papi
Manny
Drew
Lowell
Tek
Cora
Lugo

WTF? Oh, this is great. So you take a guy batting .221 and put him first. Then, remove Pedroia from the lineup cause he’s only red hot. The only smart thing here was leaving Lugo in the 9 hole. Shit, I’m thinking we may need to try something drastic with him soon like have Papi DH for Lugo instead of the pitcher. Our pitchers have got to be able to hit better than two-fucking-eleven.

As for the pitching? Wake looks like he’s 30 again while Curt looks like he’s 40 going on 80. You almost no-hit a team one week and the next week you give up 6 runs in 5 innings? It’s like he’s trying hard to make Theo look like a genius for not resigning him in Spring Training.
