Well, that sucked v2.0

For the love of Pete.

I turned the game off after Phil Nevin’s home run made it 7-1. I see that we made somewhat of a game out of it late.

For the record, Mark Mulder is officially dead to me. Sorry for stealing that bit from CardNilly, but I’ve had it with “Spooky,” or whatever it is that Paper Boy is calling him. I’ve always had it in for that guy, so those three errors in the fourth inning don’t matter.

And now this:

Albert Pujols strained his right oblique going after a foul ball and likely will go on the disabled list.

“Obviously, we have significant concerns about the severity,” team physician Dr. George Paletta said. “This injury can put you out for weeks.”

*Gulp*

I don’t like the sound of that. This team already was on shaky ground offensively, though not yet to the depth of the Cubs, the last two games notwithstanding. One would have to think a trade is sorely needed at this point. Anthony Reyes, we hardly knew ye.

Wow. The lineup possibilities are endless and intriguing, to say the least. Hey Brian Daubach! Come on down! His walk rate this season with Memphis is a thing of beauty, and hopefully some of the pop he’s shown can translate to the big club. If you get the call, B-Daub, make downstate Illinois proud.
