I hate to do this because I love the man like a 2nd father, but I need to take a quick dig at Francona. Not to nit-pick or ignore the fact that Lester and Halladay were both incredible last night, but Terry got away with a blunder. Not pinch running for Ortiz once he reached 2nd base in the 9th was an atrocious mistake. If Vernon Wells doesn’t bobble Youk’s hit then Papi is gunned out at home and we are playing all night, wasting Lester’s gem. I understand that Ellsbury is hurt, but Jed Lowry needs to be the guy that comes in there. Face it, even if Youk doesn’t come through, the ramifications of losing the DH wouldn’t be felt until for the next two or three innings. And even if he does come up again, he’s hitting .172. This isn’t the guy who has a 4 out of 5 chance of hitting a walk-off homer. Thank God Pedroia came up with that nasty play (which was even better than the one that saved Buchholz’s no-no) or Tito would be getting grilled this morning.
