BOB RYAN- The boston globe... Derek Lowe! Derek Lowe is why sport is great. A Derek Lowe saga is what separates Sport from Entertainment. Sport is not scripted. There is no play list, no repetition. The great element in Sport is the unknown. We love these games because we do not know what to expect when they start. We also love them because we can never be sure where our heroes are coming from. Right now it's hard to imagine any more unlikely candidates for this kind of heroics than a guy who was bumped from the starting rotation prior to the Anaheim series and whose playoff role was fuzzy, at best. --- but last night. six innings and 1 hit! LOWE! i dont paticularly like bob ryan or his guff but this is exactly why i watch sports...sports is more than scripts. these emotions of joy, hope and wonder is nowhere more pronounced or more real than in sports miracles. i remember last year the game betwn. T'wolves and the Kings in the regular season, when KG sank 2 , three-pointers to send the game to overtime in less than 10 seconds and won the game for us. and now the SOX do this! this is too real to submit to factual scrutiny or ponder over plans for next year's Yankees' rotation. AX bro, give us sometime, atleast till the World Series is over, to savor history and JUST celebrate, puleeze...we deserve it. mG.
