2008 Herald Archives - Buckley: Questions About Errors Spark a Lugo Outburst

Someone Needed to Explain to Julio How It Worked in Boston: �I don�t care, but sometimes it would be nice to say something positive,� he said. �But all the time it�s negative things, you know? Sometimes, you know, people should say something that�s positive. But every time it�s something negative . . . bring it up, bring it up, bring it up. Why? I understand you (the media) are going to write whatever you want . . . but I come here every day and bust my ass . . . if things don�t work out sometimes, that�s the way it�s going to be. You understand? But sometimes you bring up the same things . . . You get tired of that." -- 5.7.08, Julio Lugo to Steve Buckley, Boston Herald
