bob hohler of the globe greeted his faithful readers with this little tidbit this am: Some pitchers (hello, Curt Schilling) approach their starts as if they were planning SWAT raids. No problem at all, especially when they shine like Schilling. Then there are the anti-Schillings, the Derek Lowes of baseball lore. Affectionately known as "cuckoo bird" to Pedro Martinez, the ace of Boston's troika of one-time All-Star starters with Lowe and Schilling, Lowe spent a few moments preparing for his 2004 debut last night by long-snapping a football in the visitors' clubhouse at Camden Yards to teammates Doug Mirabelli and Gabe Kapler. ah, that's why we love our sox.
