What?

Contract year is something to fear with Lowe. His last contract year with the Sox was a disaster (5.4 ERA)....but buried in the sand by his playoff/ WS form.

What Scuds says is true about Lowe being mercurial. By his own admission Lowe is a headcase and has a hard time working through adversity on the mound. Be it getting hit hard by 2 batters in a row...or a big error being made behind him. Once things get rough the wheels come off in short order. Once he starts sweating hard and looking up to the sky its over, 1st inning or 5th. Grady was too busy making sure not to spit on his shoelaces to see the signs i guess.

When Lowe's on and his sink is dumping... 7 innings of groundballs to Furcal and Kent.
