Mark Lowe Likes Surgeries With 'Micro' In The Name
Per Larry Stone, Mark Lowe is undergoing back surgery called microdiscectomy on June 15th. Do not expect to see him this season.
Jeff's note: You shouldn't be too surprised. Lowe's injury was downplayed for some reason at the beginning, but Mark Lowe had a herniated disc, and herniated discs are kind of a big deal. Russell Branyan had a herniated disc. Brian Roberts has a herniated disc. Though no two injuries are alike, herniated discs generally don't get better very fast. They suck, and sometimes - as is the case here - they end up needing surgery.
Needless to say, the bullpen is another one of those things that we thought would be fine, but that hasn't been fine.

It's actually Rob Johnson's fault.
Or maybe Bavasi found a Voodoo Priestess.

Nope probably just Rob.
I don't have a solution but I admire the problem.

Wow, this is sad...
We lost him in 2006 and 2007 to Elbow Surgery, and now 2010 to Back Surgery. He really would have helped our faltering Bullpen. A nice guy, a great qutograph signer and a better pitcher than most of our remaining bullpen.
Mark will be missed.
Any thoughts on the odds of us trying to keep him after rehabbing, recovering and working his way back from a 3rd major surgery in less than 4 years?
Microdiscectomy?
I don’t think he should be getting penis surgery with a herniated disc in his back.
