It's Good to See You Smile.


I'm fairly certain that Mike Lowell's smile, properly used, could solve all of the problems in the world. Teach him some Mandarin, send him to Beijing, and have him politely ask the premier to stop expansion into Africa and to respect his people's human rights and smile at him, and China would be putty in his hands. Drop glossy 8x10s of Mikey Lowell's smiling face from helicopters (we wouldn't want him to get hurt before he could smile) in Afghanistan and the terrorists who saw the photos would realize the error of their ways and return to a peaceful life. Leave him in Pakistan and have him smile at the clouds and the rains would stop and the flood waters would recede.

We haven't seen much of the second best looking man in the American League this season, let alone his miraculous smile, but when he knocked that ball out this evening it was back. It was a sort-of, "I told you I could still play." and it was good for Mikey Lowell.
