ByI thought the Realtor® was coming over tonight to check out the house, but she called in sick so I've got an evening to sit on my ass and blog about the game as it happens. Never done this before (at least not w/o Bellyscratcher), so it could be a real disaster.
Half an inning in, the Reds have scored three. Hopefully EZ doesn't give 'em up so easy.
ByWe continue to add more Dodgers rejects with the last name “Ross” by trading a player to be named later for Mr. Cody Ross. Judging by his minor league numbers, he's a mediocre-average, mediocre-walk rate, solid power, lots of strikeouts kind of guy with pretty much no speed. He's like Wily Mo if you took away a bit of his power and gave that to his eye. Judging by his scouting reports, he's very good defensively, so he's really nothing like Wily Mo in that regard. And as far as I know, his hair isn't crazy and he isn't an awesome Dominican clone of Pedro Cerrano.
To make room for this, Tony Womack was DFA'd. Hopefully McCracken is gone when Junior comes back and Narron will be nearly rid of his incompetent bench players and will be forced to use real baseball players.
