ThumbGate West: Jed Lowrie Goes On DL

Maybe it's something in the Ft. Myers water. Former Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie (now with the Astros) went on the disabled list yesterday with a thumb issue.

Lowrie's sprained right thumb puts the digital disability on track to surpass "intestinal turmoil" as the #1 reason for missed time in 2012.
