There have been 30 rainouts this season, and there only two teams that haven't been a home or away team for any of them: The Angels and White Sox.

Being five games under .500 and 8 games out would look great compared to the 11-22 start. Need to win Wednesday and Thursday, and then at least 2 of 3 vs the Dodgers.

The moved Floyd up in the rotation, so it'll be: Masterson vs Peavy Carmona vs Floyd Need 'em.

Sox are 0-8 when Danks starts. Let's nail this down.

Nice. walker hasn't got to him yet.

Viciedo played 1B tonight. Not sure if that means anything.

Too bad about Petricka. Viciedo walked again.

Charlotte http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...tolaaa_chraaa_1 Birmingham http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...monaax_biraax_1 Winston-Salem ppd Kannapolis http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...kanafx_hagafx_1 Petricka struck Harper out in his first AB. RBI double Blanke. Dude needs to move up.

Hawk better not call him Mc Furson. (by cracky)

Drew Garcia moved up to Charlotte.

Numbers on McPherson. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=425774

Purchased the contract of Dallas McPherson.

Petricka faces Bryce Harper tonight.

Perfect summation. It's been a train wreck the last few years.

If they have a bad week, they really are looking at the prospect of having to go 2010-hot to get back in it. Cleveland can start losing games any day now, by the way.

Can Taj Gibson play left field tomorrow? QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 16, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Juan Pierre: Too big, too fast, too strong, too good.

Hawk needs a rest like Joe West needs a rest.

Kevin Garnett. Nah, Kevin Goldstein from one of those prospect sites.

Charlotte ppd Mitchell got tossed after striking out in his first AB. I didn't see it, but I'm sure it was a strike. Jose Martinez replaced him, so I guess he's ok after coming out early the other day.

Teahen is not going on the DL. Mild oblique strain, and available to pinch hit.

Juan is in a different category of bad. Yes, some of the other players are off to bad starts. His defense is bad. His offense is bad. His base stealing is awful, and his base running is worse. AJ probably gets a pass more than anyone, which isn't right. Dunn is coming around. Beckham plays good defense, and is still young. Pierre is expected to get on base, steal bases, and score runs. He's also expected to catch the baseball. He's been an awful player in every facet of the game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 16, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) I don't get your position on this. The boos are for Juan Pierre if one is booing Juan Pierre. Some of it is, yes. But most of it is for having him in that position where he doesn't belong anymore. Much like Dewayne Wise a couple years ago. He was instantly booed for being the opening day leadoff hitter. Did he deserve it? Probably not, but it was more about Ozzie putting him in that position.

I don't boo anyone, and I'm not going to the game. I'm just saying when it happens tonight, and it will, it's more for Ozzie than Pierre himself.

It seems like Kenny is just playing chicken with himself. He's just going to see what happens from here to the break. If it works, great. If it doesn't, then he'll be forced to trade his own players. He's afraid or in denial to make any moves--from sending Sale down to develop as a starter, to sending Morel down, to bringing Viciedo up, or letting go a player with diminished skills like Juan Pierre.

When Pierre gets booed tonight, it's more for Ozzie than Juan.
