Not to beat a dead horse...

But seriously, Jed Lowrie is on fire. I'm not sure people realize how good this kid is becoming right in front of our eyes. Lowrie added a double and two RBI to his resume today, bringing his average up to .295 and his RBI total to 28 on the season.

He's gotten better in August two (EDITOR's NOTE: THIS ISN'T THE NY TIMES AND THERE WILL BE OCCASIONAL LAPSES IN GRAMMAR. GET USED TO IT), hitting .317 this month with 15 RBI in 12 games. It took Lugo 63 games to drive in his 15th run of the season. Still no errors in 43 games for Lowrie too.

If Mike Lowell is out for an extended period of time, the Sox will lean on Lowrie in that six hole, and may need him to play some 3rd base along the way. It sounds like a tough task for a rookie, but he looks more and more comfortable every game. And I don't know about you, but I'm getting more and more comfortable watching Lowrie in the starting lineup on an everyday basis.
