ATLANTA — DUI and reckless driving charges have been dismissed against Braves pitcher Derek Lowe.
One of Lowe’s attorneys, Cory Yager, said Thursday that solicitor Raines Carter, the chief prosecutor in Atlanta Municipal Court, agreed to dismiss the charges for lack of evidence.
Yager says…

“Within the ballpark, time moves differently, marked by no clock, the unique, unchangeable feature of baseball — why this sport, for all the enormous changes it has undergone remains somehow rustic. This is the way the game was played in our youth and in our fathers’ youth. Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time. You remain forever young.”

Dude...
I know, I was there, I saw it happen…
“Today Rocker is thirty-six but remains every chiseled ounce of the six foot four, 240 he was during his pitching career (he’s since admitted to having used human growth hormone, for medical reasons), if not bigger. He works out for an hour or so six days a week, often with a couple of buddies at the LA Fitness on Mount Vernon Road. He can bench-press 315 pounds and hit a golf ball as far as Tiger Woods. (He avoids running long distances: “My big donkey-ass doesn’t need to be running himself around.”) Nonetheless, Rocker is dwarfed by his own reputation.”
