A Lowe Blow(job)

Derek Lowe and "friend"

Being that I run this blog, I get all the comments that pour in, including some on very old stories -- like this one about Derek Lowe tomcattin' around on his less-than-fashion-sensible wife, Trinka. I didn't think anything of it until this LA Observed piece with some rather interesting corroboration:
Anchor-reporter Carolyn Hughes has been taken off Dodger coverage at Fox Sports West during an investigation of her relationship with pitcher Derek Lowe, the pay site Ron Fineman's On the Record reports. Neither Lowe nor Hughes would comment to Fineman, but Lowe's wife Trinka had plenty to say. She told Fineman that she tipped Fox about her husband having an affair with Hughes and staying overnight at her place in Manhattan Beach. Both Lowe and Hughes insist to her they are just friends, but Trinka says "he wanted me gone when he came back from the next road trip." The Lowes have sold their Beverly Hills home and Trinka has moved back to Florida. Fineman runs a series of uncredited (and unexplained) photographs he says show Lowe and Hughes together on Wednesday. Hughes hosts the Dodgers pregame show, "Dodgers Dugout."
Get the big contract and the World Series ring, and look out below. At least it gives us a reason for why he's been so distracted on the mound lately. (And yes, relevant to the discussion in the comments above, Hughes is from Texas.)

Thanks to reader Joal Ryan for the tip.

Update: A whole long thread about this at Big Blue Wrecking Crew.

i'm waiting to see someone use the phrase "lowe baller" in a clever fashion.

You gotta let the guys at Baseball Primer know about this one...I can only imagine the comments attached to that thread!

For what it's worth, I think Carolyn Hughes (and Lindsay Soto for that matter) are pretty hot.
 
There are some Primates who read me... it'll get airtime if they think it's interesting.
 
However hypocritical it might be, is this a ground for LA to void Lowe's contract on "moral" grounds? I'm not sure if such a clause still is in the standard player contract.
 
In this market for pitchers? I think his paramour would have to be about 16 for them to do that... or want to.
 
I don't understand..............what's the problem ?
 
7-11, 3.99 ERA.
 
Dude, forget these old hags..have you guys seen MAXIM's sports reporer Diane Hill...SMOKIN'

Best damn sports reporter, period:

"Deep down every athlete is just a teenage boy trying to impress the hot chick—who just happens to be writing it all down for the sake of posterity. Who better than me to make them talk?"


No kidding.
 
I am glad Trinka is strong and not sitting home crying. She is doing a good job of having Caroline and Derek hang their heads low. I hope she gets on many more Los Angeles Radio Shows!!

i remember carolyn when she was in el paso. she always seemed so shy!
 
I guess Derek does like women from Texas.... he was with a STELLAR blonde (made Hughes look dumpy) when the Dodgers were in Houston last month. I wonder if Hughes knows Lowe is already cheating on her, too?
 
Maxim's Diane Hill was on CNBC's Donny Deutcsh show talking about the whole situation. Not for nothing. but that female is SMOKIN'.... Why is SHE not on t.v.?

Derek Lowe pulled through heroically for the Red Sox under extreme pressure in 2004 and I will always be proud of him. Family problems are very common and should be very private because you never know the whole story. -Red Sox Nation
