L.A. Daily News: No curses for Dodgers’ Lowe

Not while Derek Lowe is cooler than Ötzi the Iceman…

“Having played on both coasts, I can see how people might get lulled into something when they play on the West Coast,” the Dodgers right-hander said.

“It’s a laid-back atmosphere, and we draw great fans. It’s always sunny and 75 degrees. You can very easily get lulled into an attitude of, ‘Whatever happens, happens.’ I can definitely see how that could happen.

“I’m not saying that’s the reason they haven’t had success for 20 years. They have had all kinds of different teams, and I can’t explain how they haven’t won here. For the talent they have had here over ‘X’ amount of years, to have won one (postseason) game, when they were already down 2-0 in the series?

“Some people who have played this game for a long time say there is a certain mentality out here, that it’s more about entertainment than winning.

“I’m not saying that’s true, but a lot of people say that about Southern California.”
