    I think Willy Taveras deserves it more than Julio Lugo because he is more clutch in postseason than Lugo and Willy T doesn't beat or abuse his own wife like Lugo does.

    Willy, but it will have nothing to do with him.

    colorado will continue their storybook run and sweep the Sox! (at least I hope, just for the sake of the story)

    The curse of Willy T

    Will another team come off the list of never won a world series?

    Or will douchbag RedSox fans get another title?

    **** Boston and their NFL team thats gonna go 19-0 and their baseball team in the worls series and their NBA team which has a chance to win the crappy East.

    You do know that Lugo was never convicted and that, IIRC, his wife even said that it was false?

    I voted Lugo but if this poll was turned around and asked "Who do you WANT..." then of course I am rooting for Willy.

    I'm rooting for Lugo to blow a routine play to lose it for the Red Sox. Partially because I don't like the guy for doing it so much in Houston, and partially because it make the Red Sox Nation angry.

    Battered women often recant their stories. An ex of mine works in the Dallas County DA's office and has to deal with this on a daily basis.

    Let's just say Lugo did beat his wife years ago when McLane dumped his arse unceremoniously. Even tho it was recanted and might have been true.

    Has there ever been a known recurrence? If not, recant your libelous "Willy T doesn't beat or abuse his own wife like Lugo does."

    Don't forget about Boston College at #2 in the BCS; the Penguins are 4-0-0 and the New England Revolution are in the MLS playoffs.

    True. But there is this silly little saying we have here in America...Innocent until proven guilty.

    I was one of the first to jump on him and applaud the Astros when they cut him. However, nothing was ever proven and no charges were ever filed. The only problem I have with Lugo is his defensive performance in the 2001 playoffs.

    It went to trial. He was found not-guilty after his wife said during the trial that she exaggerated and that he didn't mean to hurt her.

    Which appeared to be behind him, until the stupidly botched pop that he had no business attempting to field. Lugo looked pretty good on several plays Sunday night.
