First Roger McDowell, now this. After a good west coast trip seemed to have the Braves back on the right track, the team is saddled with these two notable distractions.
What was Derek Lowe thinking?
I can't imagine any 37-year old man drag racing, but the staff ace for a World Series contender? A man making $15 million? While under the influence of alcohol?
McDowell's actions were stupid, unprofessional and offensive. Lowe's were dangerous. He could have killed someone driving at those speeds in that condition. Ask Leonard Little or Dante Stallworth.
He has now put his team in a terrible spot. Does he go to rehab? Does he get suspended? Does he miss his spot in the rotation?
The last question is whether any of this reflects on Fredi Gonzalez. Would this stuff have happened with Bobby Cox in the dugout? I think it probably would - John Rocker happened. But two embarrassments in one week for a proud franchise - the Braves need to clean things up ASAP.
