A Quest Called Tribe

Yeah, Ezequiel Carrera dropped that fly ball.  Way to waste another gorgeous start by Justin Masterson (7 IP, 4 H, ER, BB, 6 K).  This is getting embarrassing.  That is all I have to say about today's game.

Alex White threw a forty pitch bullpen session on Friday that included splitters and sliders.  It was the first time he had thrown breaking pitches off of a mound since his May injury.  White reported that his finger felt great and his arm felt even better.  Although he is not expected to begin a rehab assignment for at least a week, he will throw a simulated game tomorrow that will go a long way to determining his readiness therefor.

Am I the only one that has noticed the steady decline of Travis Hafner's batting average over the past two weeks?  In his last 12 games Pronk (.313) is batting a meek .200 (9-for-45) with two extra base hits (2B, HR).  While he has managed to drive in 5 runs and maintain a scorching .429 average with runners in scoring position, his RBI today came when Asdrubal Cabrera scored from first on a single.  Paging Enos Slaughter.

And wasn't it a real kick in the crotch that the game ended on a stellar defensive play by Omar Vizquel?

Here's to me keeping my dinner down while thinking about this one.

Cheers.
