Lowell removed from playoff roster
Mike Lowell and his gimpy hip have officially been removed from the roster. I wasn’t sure why Tito put him on it to begin with, and this validates my concerns, as does the 0-8 so far in the ALDS. In addition to being inactive for the rest of this series, Lowell won’t be able to [...]
There’s only one October
