    Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

    I haven't seen anything mentioned about this on here but it's a little old. Here's a few interesting notes about our old friend Derek Lowe via Deadspin.

    The Red Sox felt Lowe “had a drinking issue,” and Lowe’s agent, Scott Boras, even suggested an intervention. When Scott Boras is a positive influence in your life, there are problems.
    Lowe spent much of last year drinking in the Dodgers clubhouse.
    Lowe has “undiagnosed ADD,” which allowed the Red Sox doctors to give him Ritalin every day.

    These are from transcripts of divorce proceedings.

    I heard about him hanging around the bars at Fenway Park but didn't think it was so bad that the Sox thought he had a drinking problem.
    “Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on Sheffield

        My sister was at the bar with Josh Beckett the other night(in the same bar...didn't go with him) and I guess he's nice, but got fed up with all the fanatic Sox "fans" comnig up to him and asking for something, so one time a guy came up to him and asked if he was Josh Beckett...he goes "No, I get that all the time though, figure I should take it as a compliment, Thanks."

        I'm sure most athletes do that, but I just find it funny.(Also funny that my other sister sent her a text message telling the sister at the bar to: "Get him drunk and take him home.")

          Wow the Sox just missed out on a big inning there. Manny was about a foot from a HR, Trot's double bounced into the stands so Manny didn't score, they walk Tek to load em up and Lowell grounds into a DP. Ugh

                Jesus, he came pretty close. Ichiro did a good job of getting back to make a play on it.

                  Come on Manny. God I thought it was tied up again.
                  Woulda been a homer if they had Wily Mo in right.

                      Papi (barely) and Manny are retired. Nixon can make some noise hopefully.

                        Well if it ends like this what a crap game. Talk about inches. A matter of inches and Manny's second single is a homer. A matter of inches and maybe Cora could catch a line drive directly at him.

                            Trotman works a great double. Come on Tek.

                              Yea, in all fairness we probably shoulda lost yesterday's game but still won, and probably shoulda won this game and we may lose. Thats the beauty of baseball

                                You never think of wins like that, but always losses have a way of dwelling don't they?

                                And why has the strike zone doubled in size this half-inning?
