"The Sox blew a chance in the fourth to provide Matsuzaka with an even bigger cushion because of a bit of foolishness by Julio Lugo, who didn't have to slide out of the basepath to ensure that swifty Jacoby Ellsbury would make it down the line in time to beat a double-play relay. But Lugo went straight for Bartlett, who was not within arm's length of second base when Lugo made contact. Second base umpire Sam Holbrook correctly judged Lugo guilty of interference, resulting in an inning-ending double play that nullified a run, and also took the bat out of Pedroia's hands with two runners potentially still on base."
Dump him, eat the rest of his contract, and start grooming Jed Lowrie to be the full time SS. At this point, I don't think Julio Lugo can do anything right at any part of the game.
