Chris Dickerson says his shoulder feels like it did in '06 when he tore his rotator cuff
He could barely lift his arm. Micah Owings' shoulder isnt in a good way either. The team lost its 6th straight. This season was starting to look like a farcical tragedy like "Airplane!", but now I think it's more like a tragic tragedy like "Sophie's Choice". -
More injury news
Jared Burton went on the DL with shoulder weakness and shortness of breath. Josh Roenicke is back in his stead. Ryan Hanigan sat for the 3rd straight day with a stiff neck. Laynce Nix has a sore back and Alex Gonzalez came off the DL way too early and cant play 9 straight innings, much less do it well. I take back the "Sophie's Choice" analogy. "Sophie's Choice" was unbearably sad, but definitely worth watching. This is team is more like "The English Patient". -

and it looks like it may have some legs after all. Sparky Anderson visited Pete at the card shop he was holed up in all weekend and the two spoke for the first time in quite a long time. Hank Aaron brought up Pete without prompting and said he belongs. I'm sure this story isnt over, so we'll keep you posted. -
