See, it's funny. Derek Lowe was last night's pitcher for the Red Sox and his last name is a homonym for "low," which can also be used to describe the Red Sox, who are at their low point for the entire season, 10 1/2 games back of the Yankees. I'll bet the editors at newspapers across the country can't wait to get that one onto the front page. They have not been so excited since Jose Vizcaino had a game-winning hit in the World Series and they could finally write, "Nobody Beats the Viz."
Anyway, I can't figure out which event was more of a catalyst to spark Boston's current surge to overtake the Yankees and win the AL East pennant:
- Varitek's fight with ARod
- Mueller's game-winning homerun off Rivera in the same game.
- Trading away a clubhouse cancer like Nomar.
Any more catalysts like that, and Boston won't even win the wild card.
