Derek Lowe: Scarier Than a Clown

When he's on the mound anyway.

This season, the suggestion has been maybe Lowe is pitching FOR the contract he's due at the end of the year, and thus putting extra pressure on himself. We all know how Lowe displays himself under pressure. Like the kid at a Dead concert who ate too many of the brown stamps.

Sigh. I do want him to pitch well. We need him to pitch well.
