What the heck, Eck?

Did I hear Dennis Eckersley correctly tonight. Youk gets hit by a pitch and after the replay Eck reads his lips for the viewers. I half expected a big hook to come out and relieve us of our new color analyst. It will be interesting to see if NESN does anything.

BTW -- Lugo's inability to ATTEMPT to complete the back end of a double play in the fourth led to three runs. Unbelievable! All he needed to do was sidestep the bag and make a throw. Instead he stands flat footed and tosses a lazy ball to first that the runner barely beats. What was he thinking? Arrgghhhhh.

Don't complain about Lugo's mis-step (no pun intended) at short: the Mets scrub SS Martinez booted an easy grounder to let the Sox score two to equal it out.

Alan - you are correct about the Met shortstop, he is pretty bad but at least he made an attempt at making plays. Lugo's mental blunder was due to some indecisiveness. Plus, I have a short fuse when it comes to him anyway.
