Mr. Lowry Returns
Tonight, Noah Lowry makes his first start since going on the DL after an injury sustained in the third game of the season. Believe me, it's not a moment too soon. Here are the lines of each Giants starting pitcher this weekend in Philadelphia. It's a bonafide tale of terror.
Matt Cain: 4 IP, 9 hits, 6 runs, 3 BB, 4 Ks, 4 (!) home runs. He might be on a short leash.
Jamey Wright: 6 IP, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 BB, 2Ks, 1 home run. Started off terrible, but battled through six to keep the team in the game.
Matt Morris: 5 IP, 8 hits, 7 earnies, 3 BB, 5 Ks, 2 home runs. $28 million, not looking so good right now.
Ground control to Major Lowry: check ignition, and may God's love be with you.
One little comparison, just for the hell of it.
Pedro Feliz 2006: .233/.260/.375
Noah Lowry, 2005: .271/.302/.373
Again, Noah, really nice to have you back.
