David Eckstein and John McDonald were both placed
on the 15 day DL this afternoon, leaving the
team without a starting shortstop. The team has called up utility man Joe "Some drop science well I'm droppin" Inglett to serve in a variety of roles. The team is considering a radical new defensive strategy, as Scott Rolen has volunteered to play the entire left side of the infield. "I'm just ...
I tried. Honest, I did. I tried to
like him. I advocated signing him last year. He
was the best option at the time. Now it could be argued he’s the worst shortstop in the major leagues. Last week, I asked my friend for ideas for topics on the ...

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed shortstops David
Eckstein and John McDonald on the disabled list on
Thursday. > Joe Inglett has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse for the series finale against Tampa Bay. Another move is expected on Friday. > ...
Yes, I'm a nerd Unfortunatley winning streaks inevitably
come to an end. Although A.J. Burnett struck out
10 he still let Eric Hinske get the better of him. Hinske led the Rays to a 5-4 win going 2-4 with a double and solo home run inducing me to ...
We were in transit from the gym to
the Tao's heavily-fortified Fortress of Solitude when we heard
that Scrappy Doo was taken out of the lineup due to some nebulous injury which hampered his grittitude. So we thought to ourselves: "Isn't this a great ...
Holy Mother, Prime Time Sports. You've got to
be kidding me. Are you kidding me? Please tell
me you're kidding me. Today's discussion of the Jays? What. The. Hell? I know you're sort of obligated to talk about the local nine and everything, but could ...
Perhaps I shall pick them. Toronto Blue Jays
record in games started by John MacDonald at shortstop
--> 3-1. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it suits my agenda so I will abuse that tiny sample size/insignificant fact for all it's worth. Which isn't much. Here is a startling bit of news: Johnny Mac isn't a great hitter. He did have a double and a run scored yesterday, but he's ...

Geoff Young thinks he'll just come and here
and make stupid stuff up?
TOWER GROVE — While we check around the
house to see if anything has been shaken loose,
shaken up or shaken down, here are some riffs from the ballpark: *** When David Eckstein became a Cardinal, the team discussed with him a way to ...
Shucks guys, I sure wish I'd caught that
ball. I tried and tried, but I just couldn't
squeeze it. I know the kindly old man on the radio said the ump was in the way, but if only I'd hung in and ground out that inning ending double play. And earlier in the game, I gave it all I had, but gosh darn it if my throw didn't make it anywhere close to first base. Maybe they made this diamond bigger ...
A.J. Burnett was clearly a different pitcher last
night, and if not for an absolute clanker of
a play by Eckstein (you knew the whole “we paid 2 million dollars for the best defensive replacement in the league but aren’t going to play ...
