Meaningless Roster Move

by Matthew on Jul 21, 2009 2:13 PM PDT in Seattle Mariners Transactions

Here is a blue and underlined piece of text.

Mike Sweeney is activated off the disabled list and Josh Wilson was DFA'd. If I did not make this post, I doubt anyone would have noticed for weeks. That is the good news. That bad news is that it now seems that Chris Shelton will slide into the Josh Wilson, never get used ever role. Chris Shelton is a far more intriguing DH bat than Mike Sweeney.

Please use Chris Shelton, Wak.

I know everyone knows the DL system is a joke

but it’s odd to hear Sweeney talk about it so openly:

“I told Jack (Zduriencik) and Wak (Don Wakamatsu) I’d only need three days. I know my body pretty well, especially with back and knee pain. I know how long it’s going to keep me out. But they told me after a few days, they needed a spot for (Erik) Bedard. I told them, ‘Hey, whatever’s best for the team is best for me. So I said if this is something you need to do, do it, even though I’ll be ready to play tomorrow.’’

But that text is neither blue nor underlined.

He's using IE 4.0

Going for the retro feel.

Maybe you could use facebook LL to communicate offsite so we don't have to deal with these obnoxious double posts

Coming up in 10 minutes...

Matthew finds some other bit piece of fluff to write about in order to once again regain the top post on LL.

Then I'd just bump the Facebook post again

How annoying

Seriously thought I had no idea Wilson was on the team until probably 3 days ago.
