He still sucks, just have been lucky

It would have been the perfect excuse for getting rid off Mike, putting him in the DL.

There was a scary moment in the fourth inning when Lowell jammed his left foot sliding into third base. Lowell limped off the field and stayed in the game until Damion Easley replaced him at third base in the eighth inning.

He's just been a lucky bastard, and soon will return to his perennial slump any time soon.

Lowell has clearly come out of his seasonlong malaise, hitting safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 13 for 37 (.351) with seven RBI, three runs and five walks.
