BY JOE McDONALD ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Red Sox ailing third baseman Mike Lowell came limping out of the visitor's clubhouse Friday afternoon in warmup shots and a team pullover. At the same time his teammates began to stretch on the field in preparation for Game One of the ALCS against the Rays without the veteran's presence. "When he took a deep breath and let the air out, he was hurting," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said figuratively. "He was still trying to play and compete and when we finally made a decision, he realized how much he was hurting." Francona said the best thing for Lowell right now is to get the inflammation out and get comfortable. As a result of his absence, Kevin Youkilis is playing third and Mark Kotsay is at first.
