Gawd it just keeps getting better. Ortiz is sporting a walking boot for bursitis. Youkilis was put on the DL for his back problems. JD Drew is making his usual and customary summer vacation on the DL.

Ok who wants to play 3rd or DH?

Kobi..is Ortiz on the 15 day? Bursistis in his ankle I presume......OUCH.

We are (knocking on wood) healthy finally. Big weekend with the reds, then the brewers. I'll be kayaking and getting my baseball fixes.

I do believe you were right, this may all change in the next couple of weeks.

Redundant. Baseball is Streaky.

That was great! Thanks for posting that. I feel like doing that at my job on occasion, too. He reminds me of Billy Martin. He needs to go to the Majors...some team would be lucky to snag that guy. No joke.

After watching that epic melt down of a baseball manager clip a few posts ago, I realized something today. Clint Hurdle was thrown out of the game again today, as he was on friday, by the same umpire, Brian Knight. Note: including these two tosses, Hurdle has only been tossed 4 times all season. But both times, Umpire Knight turned his back to Hurdle while Hurdle was *talking* to him. To me, thats almost baiting.

Now, I will say, I never understood why a manager ever argues, because nothing in baseball ever gets overturned.....instant replay showed the umpire missed the call (heard that from the radio side) PNC park will not show a controversial call, on replay. I know they[managers] do it to back the players. This was a rap John Russell endured, he didn't argue.

So, we let another slip away in the 9th. Pirates loose to the Reds 5 to 4.
Brandon woods, the worst batter in baseball (known fact!) he does have an excellent glove, struck out three times, and with a runner on third and two outs....we let him bat???? He bounced out to the infield ending the game......and the BOOOO BIRDS sang loudly. Sometimes I understand why.

Double header tomorrow with the Brew Crew.

Tigers swept the Indians! Just need to keep things going in that direction. I'm going to a game on the 30th with some friends. My first of the year, sadly.

Ortiz isnt on the disabled list yet. The bursitis is in his heel. I cant phathom bursitis resolving in a matter of days but he is listed as day to day.

If we had a designated runner position for designated hitters.......I'm kidding.....kind of. LOL.

Even with Ortiz and Youk out, we are holding our own for the moment. But the bench is very thin on power which is worrisome seeing the Rangers are our next opponents and the Yanks are on tap for next weekend.
