Julio Lugo has been designated for assignment, ending what was undoubtedly the most maligned and uncomfortable tenure of any Red Sox player acquired under the Henry/Epstein regime.

Since Lugo will probably veto any assignment to the minor leagues, the “DFA” means the Sox have 10 days to either trade him (probably while paying all of the ~$15 million owed to him and getting shite in return) or release him outright (again, they’ll end up paying most of his remaining contract while another team picks him up for close to nothing).

Jed Lowrie returns on Saturday.  Hopefully, he’s ready to play just about every day.

   Wait. What the fuck? Ricardo is a feature here?

   Not one update in my mail box. Even after Sully died.

   I’m going to burn this motherfucker to the ground.
