It finally happened, Marlins got rid off Mike Lowell..!!!
It finally occurred, Marlins got rid off this (ex-steroid addict?) sucker, and Red Sox traded him for three prospects.
Well, it doesn't matter what we Marlins fans got in exchange for Mikey, to say three prospects, three sand bags or three packs of bubble gum. Anything they give us is worth more than him.
I'm not a follower of Red Sox's finances, but I guess they have a lot of spare cash that allows them such spending blunder.
Mike Lowell comes over as a $9 million liability for the 2006 and 2007 seasons (he is guaranteed $18 million). Lowell's production significantly dropped last year, when he hit .236 with 8 home runs and 58 RBIs. The previous 3 seasons he averaged just fewer than 28 home runs, 94 RBIs, and a .282 average. Interesting how the three-time All-Star's numbers dropped dramatically after Major League Baseball's original steroid policy came into play. Bostonist can only hope that the right handed hitter can utilize the Green Monster in left to bring him back to the prominence of the 2002-2004 seasons. Time will tell.Anyhow it's not only all bad news for them, they also got one of the best pitchers in the game, for a really bargain price.
The 25-year-old Beckett, eligible for salary arbitration, is expected to earn between $4 million and $5 million next year and can become a free agent after the 2007 season.Good luck Bostonians, you'll need it.
PS. Captain Fishtail, posted in the Sons of Sam Horn forum they put me out of business. He's right, now I'm out of the business of posting my hate for Mike Lowell. But don't worry, I'll probably be replaced very soon for a Red Sox (or Twins?) fan.
By the way, if someone wants to take over this blog, just write me to mikelowellsucks [at] gmail [dot] com. Also, I can transfer the ownership of the domain mikelowellsucks.com for free. All you need is to demonstrate you'll continue the hatred against this sucker.

I bet Lowell plays a serviceable 3B for us. I wonder what went wrong with the guy in FLA... maybe he went nuts (see Foulke, Keith), maybe he's an ex-roid-er (see Sosa, Sammy). Either way, I'll take him as I'm excited to have Josh Beckett. We may not win the WS with him, but I'm fairly positive we wouldn't have without him.
I wish you guys the best luck with Josh Beckett, he's one of the best pitchers in the game... but Lowell is another story. He's simply a disappointment.
Just let me know when somebody (maybe you) starts writing a hate blog against him :-)
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Are you the cold & timid soul who knows neither victory or defeat? In other words, do you suck?
Hey hutch04901, your "speach" (well, not really yours) almost made me cry... sniff, sniff (note sarcasm here).
You're such a "speechless" moron... and yes, I do suck, but so does Mike Lowell.
You need therapy dude!!!
