i think he has a couple

I'm sure that this news will be as much of a shock to all the Mike Lowell fans out there as much as it was to me. On the saturday game against L.A. in which we lost 11-6 my younger brother and sister were waiting outside after the game trying to get autographs just as alot of kids do. Alfonseca and Castillo both stopped to sign but we already had them. Cabrera just drove by with no incident. When my brother saw Mike Lowell drive by he tried to get his autograph but Lowell didn't stop. My brother then said "its ok, your not my favorite player anyway". Lowell became extremely angry at my 14 year old brother and stopped his car and began screaming obscenities at him from his car infront of a bunch of other kids. He then told my brother if he had a problem with him to come and confront him. Lowell is 6'3" 210 lbs and my brother is 14 years old 5'5" and 110 lbs maybe thats why he was being so brave. By the time he stopped a large crowd of kids had gathered around him and his convertible jag to get autographs. Lowell then said "I'm going to sign for all these kids but I'm not going to F@@@ing sign s@@t for that punk"

 

This also serves as a warning so that parents watch their kids because even a "role model" and supposedly "team captain" can try and take advantage of a young kid.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

14 and 5'5 and 110? For real? Did you feed him or not when he was little?

For some reason I can't picture Mike saying that type of stuff to a little kid.

 

I can see Delgado doing it though.

I think this is bulls***. Maybe he won't sign for your brother for saying something like that but I highly doubt all that other crap. This is bull.

Is this story made up?? Probably, but at the same time, you people who are saying "the kid deserved it"....each and every one of you are morons. When a kid doesn't get his way, he gets mad and mean of course, anybody knows that. So if your saying some kid deserves to have a curse laden tirade thrown on him by a professional athlete over that, your retarted. If your not going to sign, you just ignore the kid and keep on going.

I agree. If its not true then thats one thing. But excusing that reaction just because the kid said he wasnt his favorite player? Thats not remotely smart ass like. I wonder what people would say if the players came on this board and went balistic for every critical smart ass comment made about them. Pay me that kind of money and people can call me their least favorite human any day of the week.

 

This could be the Keith Hernandez-Kramer/Newman incident all over again

For some reason I can't picture Mike saying that type of stuff to a little kid.

Delgado was actually very nice when I asked him for an autograph at dinner during the 2003 playoffs, he was just finishing up his dinner and he was with his agent and his family.

If he knew you typed on the internet like tHiS, he probably would have ripped on your cousin even worse.

 

It's an embarrassment - no matter hOw OlD yOu ArE.

 

Now doesn't that last bit look stupid? Of course it does.

:lol

Mike Lowell is usually a nice guy, i dont know what got to him but it is pretty harsh to tell him "Your not my fav. player anyways" plus all the fustrations he is going through with his slump and losing the game.

It sounds like the kid made an a**hole comment when Mike didn't stop to sign for him. I'd be pissed too.

I doubt that he screamed obscenities at kids. To my knowledge, doesn't he have a child of his own?

910574[/snapback]

Yeah he does have a girl.

The times i've met Mike Lowell he's been nice and respectful to everyone so I really find it hard to believe this story. I just can't see him doing that to some kid because he seems so good with them he actually went out there today when the kids stand with the players for the national anthem and he looked like he actually cared some guys just kinda stand there but he shook their hands and was talking to them a bit.

Even the nicest people are capable of getting mad and swearing. Lowell is not Jesus or anything. But I think the kid deserved his anger because players should not be expected to just stop and give autograpphs whenever people want them. And then to make that comment about him not being his favorite player anyway probably ignited a spark in Mike. I don't blame him at all for reacting that way.

That is BS Mike would never cuss in front of a crowd. I understand why he would be mad though, cause of the slump.

First of all this thread is abunch of BS, there is no way this happend. Some of you guys are such Lowell homers. You say this kid deserved this? If his story had the name Barry Bonds in it, and not Mike Lowell you would be saying wow what a a-hole and yea he is a d!ck, but no because it was Mike freaking Lowell it was the kids fault. Like I said this isn't true, but for any grown man, not only a professional athlete to yell at a 14 year old kid, is unacceptable and moronic. So I feel sorry for you people who say this was the kids fault and not Mike Lowell. It's not like the kid said hey Mike you are not hitting this year because you are not on the roids. Or hey Mike, why can't you hit anymore. Or called him some name or something, no they kid said it's okay your not my favorite player. He has the right to not give an autograph, and if the kid wants to say its okay your not my favorite player he has the right to do that.

Fans that are jerks, supporting a player based on his recent performances, deserve what they get. It doesn't matter if it's Bonds, Lowell, OMGNunez.

 

 

But, yeah, I doubt this happened as written here. And doubt it ever would have been posted and gone on for three pages if Lowell was playing well.

It's funny how fishpharm, the bold faced liar, has not replied at all to this thread since people started calling BS on his post.

C'mon you Lowell homers you have to admit he has a temper.

 

Once I asked him if he is going to get the gold glove with Rolen out for the season and he was like "WHAT YOU SAY!?"

 

Then he proceeded to suplex me on my head and stomp my balls in. True story.

C'mon you Lowell homers you have to admit he has a temper.

Uh, yep. He had one when some of the very same folks who have turned their backs on him were praising his whiny comments to the media throughout 2003 and 2004 (you know, his two best years) too.

Did the child use any profanity in his retort? Profanity prompts profanity. I would say that whether the incident were true or not, we, as fans, must understand that professional athletes are under a great deal of non-stop pressure. That's not to say that it's a legitimate excuse to verbally abuse children. It only means it's understandable. We should've won that game. But the Dodgers just kept coming back. And back. And back. :mad It's enough to make anybody mad. I was about ready to smash the TV set. But that's another story. The point here is I think we must all strive to be sensitive and understanding toward the players. That's a sign of a true fan.

It seems like accord is way to much of a homer to believe that Lowell almighty might have blown his top. Accord believe whatever you want. I have nothing to prove to you. You also said why I haven't answered any of the comments here. I am a professional and I do alot more than just sit around waiting for blind fans like you to post comments.

 

This story is completely true. I have no reason to make it up. Cabrera has never stopped to sign and I've never said anything about it. I agree it is the players decision to sign or not and as fans we must respect that, but being a professional baseball player doesn't give you the right to belittle anyone you want.

 

Again, for those that don't believe me that's fine. That is why we all live in the US. You are all free to believe what you want. This story is 100% true with no exageration. I really wish that anyone that was there, right by where the tent is near gate G would post their comments.

Its one thing not believe what I'm saying but you disrespecting me by calling me a bold faced liar shouldnt be tolerated. They shouldnt allow you to post insulting remarks. Are you sure that you're not related to Lowell in some way. You have his same prick attitude.

Oh you are starting to sound like Lowell. Watch your temper young man!

I just don't think you're giving us the whole story. Your brother must have said something more than just "you're not my favorite player anyway," to get cussed out as badly as you say he was.

 

The story, as you frame it, just doesn't add up.
