Who's psyched for Kotsay at 1B for the near future?Following the Red Sox' 9-3 loss to the Washington Nationals, Thursday night at Nationals Park, third baseman Mike Lowell said that his surgically-repaired right hip felt no better after getting four of the previous five days off and a decision regarding the approach would be made on the way to the team's next series in Atlanta. One option that Lowell has been weighing are shots to help lubricate the hip, along with additional time off. Lowell originally felt tightness in his hip last Thursday after having few problems while playing in all but two of the Sox' games up until that point. In the loss to the Nationals, Lowell went 0 for 3 before being replaced at third base in the eighth inning by Nick Green.
