Keep him on the bench and check for the probable starter for his opponents. Play him on the days he's likely going to have some plate apperances.

(Y) Thanks guys. It worked out. I offered MPH one of my extra LF instead. Reimold from Baltimore. He was doing pretty great too but I can afford to lose him

[gunnar hendershow]

Reimold will cool down big time too, so good job cashing in on him.

White Sox face the Oakland Athletics tonight, Jake Peavy vs. Bartolo Colon. Scott Steiner, what do you think about Bartolo Colon?

[Lint]

so Phillies lost 9-5 tonight. The starting pitcher, Kyle Kendrick, gave up 7 runs in 3 innings. This is why me and my friends have started to refer to ANY game he's pitched in and lost as "Phillies got Kendrick'd"

[SeanDMan]

Pitching more like Brian Kendrick out there.

[DMN in the House]

Dodgers are going to win the West, and Kemp is going to be MVP. LA might even make it out of the NL at this rate.

You're welcome for the wonderful man that is Donnie Baseball.

I was once lost, but then, I was found...

Hoped your ass called somebody.

Matt Kemp is a beast. Although that was a bone head double play in last nights game against the Braves.

The team I'm most impressed with though has to be the Washington Nationals. I think they finally have the right manager and a great rotation, one of the best bullpens in the league and some good young ballplayers.

Reyes booed in his first at-bat back at Citi Field. What a disgraceful showing from the Mets fans. The guy gives you 8 exciting years, the team never makes an attempt at keeping him, and you boo him anyway. I don't care if it's a division rival - that's fucked up.

[gunnar hendershow]

Mike Mussina got booed in Baltimore after he jumped to the Yankees after the same scenario. Orioles low-balled him shortly after a season where they had a massive fire sale and the Yankees gave him more money and a chance to pitch in the World Series right away.

A lot of fans look at a free agent signing elsewhere as always being an act of treachery. It's stupid, since these fans would almost always take the highest-paying available job in whatever their trade is, but it's how it is in sports.

[The Buscher]

It's not even like the Mets made him an offer and he bolted for more money. They never made him an offer at all. The guy is getting booed for not signing a non-existent contract. Yes, his last at-bat in 2011 was a shitty move on his part...but that can't negate the 8 fun years he provided.

[DYSI]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair a labrum tear in his right shoulder and is lost for the season.

The surgery is an arthroscopic procedure and will be performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan by New York Mets team physician Dr. David Altchek at the request of Pineda and his agent, Fern Cuza.

According to Yankees team doctor Chris Ahmad, who will assist in the surgery, the recovery for such an injury is 12 months from the date of the surgery barring any setbacks in rehab, meaning Pineda will not be available until May 2013 at the earliest.

Gaaaaaaaaaay.

[gunnar hendershow]

Meanwhile Montero's going to be one of the best offensive weapons of his generation.

Also, Blue Jays fans. Something's bothering me. Why does Kyle Drabek wear number 4? That isn't a number you usually see pitchers wear and I wanted to know if there was a special reason for it.

Finally. Here's a great story about Jeremy Guthrie, who by all accounts is one of the nicest guys in the game, and a recently recovered cancer patient playing catch. http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/7849214/rockies-pitcher-twitter-friendship

Every time Phillip Hughes pitches I hear Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber saying "Ok! Kill him!"

[Blitz]

I'm so pumped about the Rangers right now. They are playing extremely well, and the Angels are 8.5 games back and Pujols hasn't hit in five games.
