An article in today's Boston Herald titled "More Misery for Mike Lowell" Scott Lauber writes about how Mike Lowelll couldn't get a pinch hit in th ninth inning. Lowell's response? "It's par for the course." Amalie Benjamin's article talks about the same thing.
Mike Lowell's story this season is well-documented - the Sox signed Adrian Beltre in the offseason, effectively supplanting Mike Lowell as an everyday player. Beltre has played exceptionally well, so there is no room for Lowell to play everyday, or even a few times a week. It is a shame, I have confidence Lowell still has some gas in the tank. But a player who has been notoriously classy in the past has kicked the class to the curb in favor of whining, complaining, and being a poor sport. I'm sure the Red Sox are trying to trade him, but they're not going to give him up for nothing! Lowell, it happens. You have your health, your family, you are still making millions. You will get your chance, but please, quit the talking in the meantime. I don't want to not like you.
