(1) It looks like Reid Brignac wasn't pulled because of a trade, but rather (allegedly) because he didn't hustle. So then. I wonder if Brignac has any idea how many people were affected by his laziness. Does Tampa Bay just breed these guys? Still a very good chance that something is going on here, though. This looks like a possible smokescreen. What's the team going to say? "Yeah, no, he's not playing tonight either. Why? Oh, I dunno. For the hell of it?"
Update: now the reports are that Brignac was pulled due to minor pain in his leg. Was seen icing in the clubhouse. This is aggravating.
(2) Jason Vargas was scratched from his start in Tacoma tonight and will presumably go tomorrow instead of Chris Jakubauskas. What this means for Jak is that, instead of warming up before the game, he'll warm up in the third.

Dammit, I wanted to make a joke about the team DFAing Corcoran because two Cajuns is too many :(

Reminds me of these commercials:
You don’t get the shiny truck.

Or...
Vargas was scratched last night because they might need a starter on Tuesday if they trade Washburn before then. You know who also needs a starter on Tuesday? The Milwaukee Brewers…
Because today needed more speculation.

I bet you're having a really relaxing day
Jeff Sullivan - July 25, 2009
I am, actually
Amy’s at a baby shower, and I’m cleaning the house like a madman to surprise her when she gets home. This is all a nice distraction from vacuuming.

You say that until it gets to be 8pm and you realize you've been texting for seven hours
Jeff Sullivan - July 25, 2009
She'll be home in about an hour
You won’t hear from me the rest of the day.
davidcameron - July 25, 2009
However will I get my thoughts on stuff?

As long as people like you are the ones putting ideas in my head I love it.

What could have possibly changed between last night and now?
To change their minds from Jak to Vargas?
Fuckmikereilly - July 25, 2009
jak pitched an out last night
Morrow needs a couple more starts to work on his Aardvark pitch. Hyphen is already here and Olsen sucks. Vargas is rip rarin’ to go.

I feel like one of those long flyouts
It’s hit deeeeeeep to right field. He got ahold of that one . Whoooooooaaaaaa right at Ichiro who had to walk about three steps to his left

You were half paying attention to the game when you heard Neihaus yell out:
“Swung on and BELTED!” You quickly look over to see the left fielder casually catch the ball prewarning track. You go back to half paying attention.

When I was a lad ...
the Minnesota Twins announcing crew included Halsey Hall. Halsey by then was in his mid-60s and his depth perception wasn’t what if used to be. Mostly he did color, but worked an occasional inning of play-by-play while Herb Carneal took a break. Harry Caray copied “Holy Cow” from Halsey Hall, btw.
I remember one call well – a drive deep to left field. Allison (Bob Allison, Twins left-fielder) looks like he’s got. Coming a few steps. And Versailles (Zoilo, shortstop) catches it on the edge of the OF grass.

Where is the substance to this?

Reid and Scotty for Morrow and Clement? I saw this mentioned on Bakers’ blog, but that is it.
OceanBird - July 26, 2009
Forgot to mention
I’m a big fan of how this site doesn’t make bogus rumors like the one above.
OceanBird - July 26, 2009
That ins't a bogus rumor that they just made up.
How have you missed everyone taking about this the past two days?
Aaron Campeau - July 26, 2009
It should be bogus
Like the Indians would really trade Lee and Martinez basically for Morrow and Clement? Show me a reliable source and I’ll change my mind. As far as I can gather it started on some random message board.
OceanBird - July 26, 2009
Well you can just go ahead an be wrong then
Aaron Campeau - July 26, 2009
And also the Rays would be giving them prospects as well.
