This is sort of bad. Even if they win, they've used all their primary relievers, Derek Lowe's done some pitching, and Pedro threw ~135 pitches. Hopefully Wakefield can throw a lot of innings tommorow...

NOT THE DEREK LOWE FACE! :Q

From ESPN.com in the days Lowe was the closer:



In Lowe's case, you spend the ninth inning rooting for things to go smoothly for him ... and then something happens (a single or a walk), and you start searching for signs that he's OK, and he is OK, but maybe something else happens (a stolen base, a walk) and then ... BOOM!

He makes the face.

My buddy J-Bug calls it The Derek Lowe Face, a distant cousin to The Troy Aikman Face. Remember when Aikman would suffer a concussion, and TV cameras would catch him on the sidelines -- glassy-eyed, totally shellshocked -- and the Dallas trainers would literally shove 10 pounds of smelling salts in front of his nose, as Aikman stared out onto the field, undaunted, looking like he just saw Milton Berle naked? That was The Aikman Face.

The Derek Lowe Face is a little different. It's a frozen expression like The Aikman Face, only it's more anguished and tortured (imagine someone taking a dump and suddenly realizing that there's no toilet paper in the bathroom). And as soon as Lowe starts making that face, the umpires should halt the game and award it to whomever the Red Sox are playing. I have to admit, I'm haunted by The Derek Lowe Face.

I spend every one of his appearances saying to the TV, "Don't make it, don't make the face, stay cool, come on, stay with us, hang tough, kiddo." It never ends.



That description captures the Derek Lowe face perfectly.

Official. A's win on a bunt by Ramon Hernandez. 5-4. Woohoo.

I am glad they got rid of Art Howe. Art Howe would never let the A's bunt.
