Braves Quote For The Day

Blister under r. big toe led to Lowe's troubles. It's messy, cropped up after 3rd pitch. Said he taped it whole career until this spring.

And here I thought his blister problems were on his hand...

I vote that we nickname Derek Lowe, "Mister Blister."

Good

Glad to hear it was no big deal. I know how a blister on the foot can effect pitching so I’m sure he will be fine. Just start taping it up again.

Or the “Blister Blaster” for getting rid of it…

haha Mr. Blister

I certainly hope that was the real reason for his struggles. I’m gonna send him a nice pair of socks or something.

Haha I feel like Mister Blister should be the name of a villain in TMNT or something like that…

And my ? is, Why did he not tape it this year?

Silly Derek.

Mr. Blister it is…although there are (nagging) shades of Hampton 2: Electric Bugaloo (nice).

Whole career spent taping it?

You’d figure SOMEONE would get him a pair of shoes that aren’t abrasive.
