You remember Trinka Lowe right? She's the wife of Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe who was so broken up when her ex-husband left two summers ago to move in with former Fox Sports Net reporter Carolyn Hughes. Well, Trinka's divorce from Derek was finalized in December, and she was awarded an estimated $18 million. Now it seems as if Trinka's the cause of someone else's marriage going wrong. According to the Boston Herald, Trinka Lowe
Is being called The Other Woman in the bust-up of retired German soccer stud Stefan Effenberg's second marriage. According to the German newspaper Bild, [Effenberg's wife] Claudia high-tailed it to Hamburg after friends told her that her hubby has been spotted with Trinka in Florida. According to Bild, at Christmas Effenberg promised his wife of three years to end his relationship with Trinka. But last week, friends reportedly told Claudia that Steffan and Trinka were still spending time together, and the angry missus declared she wanted a divorce.
Wow. Can you say hypocrite much? Either this report is
A) Completely False
OR
B) Trinka Lowe didn't experience "mental pain and a blow to her self-esteem" (or whatever language divorce lawyers use) otherwise she wouldn't do it to someone else
OR
C) Trinka Lowe is a cold-hearted beeatch who had her heart broken, and is now breaking someone else's

IS THIS ALL YOU CAN FIND TO WRITE ABOUT. WHO CARES?
i HAPPEN TO BE SITTING DIRECTLY NEXT TO TRINKA LOWE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO WHEN BOSTON WAS PLAYING THE YANKEES IN YANKEE STADIUM....SHE SEEMED A FINE LADY HOWEVER
THINGS ALWAYS CHANGE WHEN A MARRIAGE GOES BUST ..I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE....I GUESS TRINKA IS LOOKING OUT
FOR HERSELF AND WANTS SOME EXCITEMENT...JUST AS DERRICK LOWE OR THE GERMAN SOCCER PLAYER ...ALL IS FINE...ADULTS SHOULD DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM,HOWEVER
IF LIFE'S ROMANCES DON;T WORK OUT TRINKA SHOULD NOT POISON HER CHILDREN AGAINST THEIR FATHER LOWE...JUST TO GET EVEN....THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST THIS FORM OF
BEHAVIOR THAT MEN CAN UTILIZE IN COURT TO FIGHT
UNHAPPY WOMEN WHO SPEAK BAD ABOUT THEIR EX HUSBANDS IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN
Now, look. Trinka is a deeply devout woman who reads the Scriptures daily. Derek and Carolyn are still friendly with someone who lives in Derek's former gated neighborhood in Fort Myers...the neighborhood where Trinka and the three children live.
Trinka admits that she and her three kids went places with the German soccer guy and his two kids. Two of Trinka's children are the same age as the man's two children.
Lo and behold, Derek and Carolyn probably are aware of this going on...they visit at a nearby neighbor's house a lot. Both of them have access to the press. It's not hard to imagine that one of them dropped a dime to someone in Germany. And then someone in Germany - an American, I believe, dropped a dime to the Boston Herald's Inside Track.
The affair between Carolyn and Derek broke up their own and each other's marriages. To this day, Trinka has done nothing wrong - except advocate for her children in the divorce proceedings. Now DLowe is saying that 'no one broke up the marriage.' Like a lie will make the whole mess go away or something.
No matter what Derek and Carolyn say or do...no matter how deep their love becomes...their relationship's foundation is based on lies. My condolences to them.
Why don't I believe the story about Trinka and German Soccer Guy? Well, the Boston Herald ran this story and no one else bothered to report on it. And believe me...there's big interest in this saga in the greater New England area.
For those of us from Boston who remember the years of Derek Lowe's numerous off-field antics...we know that the Trinka/soccer story just is flat out not true. Derek Lowe is a cad. And that's putting it mildly.
