7/9: 1st half MUP = Penny

Written on July 9th, 2009 by Josh Lacey467510 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/07/09/79-1st-half-mup-penny.html7%2F9%3A+1st+half+MUP+%3D+Penny2009-07-09+21%3A26%3A39Josh+Lacey

What is a MUP? Most Under-appreciated Player. I think the first half award for 2009 Red Sox MUP belongs to Brad Penny. Considering what we expected from him (who thought he’d still be on the team in July?), Penny’s ability to go deep in games consistently has given the team a chance to win and kept the bullpen alive and kicking.

Written on July 9th, 2009 by Shawn Medeiros46721 Commenthttp://firebrandal.com/2009/07/09/bos-5-oak-4-drew-papi-blasts-lead-sox.htmlBOS+5%2C+OAK+4%3A+Drew%2C+Papi+blasts+lead+Sox2009-07-09+14%3A13%3A25Shawn+Medeiros

During the game yesterday, Oakland Athletics shortstop Orlanda Cabrera was shown on camera asking a teammate “how can you hit that.”
Carbera was referencing Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball that was dancing all around the plate last night.
