Lowell and football misc.

First of all a quote from Red Sox 3rd baseman Mike Lowell about his game-winning sacrifice fly Saturday night that knocked teammate David Ortiz in from third for the Red Sox victory. Here's the quote:

Serving as a pinch-hitter in the top of the 10th inning, Lowell stepped up with the bases loaded and one out and promptly gave the Red Sox just what they needed. His sacrifice fly to right scored a lumbering David Ortiz from third, serving as the difference in Boston's 4-3 victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday night.

"I just battled and tried to pull the ball in play hard," said Lowell. "And just praying for David to get those choppy steps going."

Lastly, an article about Georgia freshman defensive lineman Rennie Curran. Here's a quote about him and playing this upcoming season:

"If God doesn't want me to play this season and I have an injury or something, that's fine. I'll deal with it," Curran said. "Otherwise, I'm going to bust my butt and try to learn everything I can as quickly as I can so I'll be ready to play...."
