Big amen to that. Harrington was *horrible* - at the very least, a classic case of a guy in way over his head and unable to make the tough calls. Regardless of how this season turns out, I have been very impressed with the new owners. Even if we don't go all the way, or even fall apart like last year, I will finally have faith that the people in control will be able, or at least *willing*, to make the necessary changes.

But hey, this is no day for complaining - I can't think of anyone more deserving of this than Lowe. I felt horrible for him last year, even as I booed (more for Jimy for not making a change), and I'm really glad he's found some redemption!

Am I the only one who's thinking of "the Derek Lowe face" now -- to wit, the face he would make after blowing a save? Bill Simmons, the coiner of that phrase, must be happy tonight!
