MILWAUKEE -- Mark Prior was scratched from Sunday's start against Milwaukee with a strained left oblique muscle that he said he injured while taking batting practice on Saturday.

 

"The goat is starting to look real," Prior said, referring to the Billy Goat Curse.

 

Trainer Mark O'Neal said Prior's injury could be problematic, and he could be placed on the disabled list.

 

"He didn't say anything to us about it until late in the game last night, after he took batting practice, he felt some soreness and didn't think anything about it," O'Neal said. "And then he was in there watching the game on the couch and tried to get up and it was pretty sore."

 

Prior said he wasn't overswinging during batting practice.

 

"I wasn't swinging hard, just trying to get loose," he said. "I didn't feel anything. It wasn't like I went to my knees."

 

Prior didn't notice anything until he sat on the clubhouse couch and got up and felt some pain. He doesn't believe it will linger, though at this point he can't be sure about anything.

 

"I'm hoping it's not something for the second half," he said. "We're going to play it by ear after last night. This morning I felt good getting up, then sneezed and realized it wasn't getting any better. I hope after four days it'll be alright."

Well there is a play you don't see every day: Roy Oswalt doubles in the 11th inning, yet missed the base according to the ump(very hard to tell if he hit it on the replay) and when the Cardinals appealed he was called out.

The Astros' first base coach gave it away. I'm almost positive he's the only reason the ump assumed he didn't touch the base.

David Eckstein's been added to the NL roster taking Reyes's place

What happened to Reyes?

They said he injured his hand on Friday and wasn't sure if he wanted to play all weekend

Yeah, he sliced open a few fingers on the underside of his hand and needed some stitches. He sat out yesterday out of fear that he may bust open the wound swinging a bat.

which leads me to one of my biggest pet peeves in baseball, he injured himself on a head first slide into first. i didn't see the play, so maybe he was trying to avoid a tag or something.. but still, that has to be one of the dumbest plays anyone can make

What happened to Reyes?

He cut his finger.

How about that Arod has a walkoff homer against Atlanta when his team was down by a run?

That's not even the only thing wrong with that poll you know.

Appearantly if you have a $252M contract, walkoff homeruns and 7 RBI games including a grandslam against your crosstown rival don't count as clutch. I'm not one to harp on the clusterf*** of idiocy that is ESPN but the A-Rod hatred comming out of NY/Bristol is just sickening.

 

1.000+ OPSs w/ both RISP and RISP w/ 2 out seems relatively clutch to me.

If they really don't want him, they can pay most of his contract and trade him here.

Josh Beckett 26 homers allowed? That's the most shocking, amazing stat I've ever read! Please ESPN get the f*** outta here.

On the other hand, one could also look at the 8 for 47 he's put up this season in "Close and Late" situations, with the associated .548 OPS, and then start to wonder.

The Tigers wins being there and the stat about the White Sox leading MLB in homers not there??

Considering the Sox are at the top of the league in homers almost every season it seems, how exactly is that an "amazing stat"?

lol ya. Everyone knew we'd hit a ton of homers as usual, nobody knew at this point that the Tigers would have the best record in baseball.

But the Sox don't hit homers, you're a smallball club, that's why it's amazing.

PUJOLS.
