Contrary to what someone, somewhere believes, Derek Lowe has zero credibility.
A buddy of mine emailed me this morning with this charming item from True Blue L.A.:
I’ve disappeared for the week because I’m down in Vero Beach right now, and I don’t really have internet access. I’ve got pictures and all that fun stuff queued up that I’ll be able to post in a bit. For now, all I have is one fairly interesting story.
I was talking to a guy that slings hooch at one of the local speakeasies and had Derek Lowe walk in a couple of nights ago. In addition to being with a very beautiful woman, he went on a fairly long rant about why he hates Vin Scully. D-Lowe thinks he’s past his prime and he just tells stories instead of actually calling the game.
I can forgive pretty much anything, but this might be way too big of an offense. Lowe can join Elijah Dukes on the bad citizen list.
Impervious to this criticism

I will watch obscure Dodgers Pirates mid-season games just to listen to Scully. There is no one like him in all of baseball. Getting the Extra Innings package and watching baseball from around the big leagues makes you realize: a) how awesome Scully is; b) how unbelievably horrid almost everyone else is.
The article about Elijah Dukes is incredible.
What an asshole.
OTOH, my buddy’s wife’s brother lives down in Ensenada and doesn’t speak very good English. But his satellite dish picks up Dodgers games, so he’s picked up an awesome, awesome Vin Scully impersonation. I can’t even describe it, because it’s all in Spanglish. I should record it and put it on the YouTubes.
