Yesterday, June 30th, may have been the worst day in the short and playoff-less history of the MC Longball franchise. Blog would like to review MC Longball's misery, mostly to aleviate it's own anxiety over the 9-1 hole Blog finds itself in after one day of scoring... anywho... there were 5 specific events that made 6-30-08 Black Monday for Longball.
1. Miguel Cabrera left the game with a hip flexor strain. Blog is well aware of the difficulty a bum hip can lead to (as opposed to a hip bum). Cabrera has already been a huge disappointment for the Tigers and MC Longball, but now he's lame. The official word is day-to-day, but a nice little stint on the DL isn't out of the question.
2. Juan Pierre went on the DL Monday with a sprained ligament in his knee. Pierre swiped 6 bags last week! Blog hears that's a lot, but Blog is also fairly confindent he'll equal Pierre's steal total through the all-star break, if not longer.
3. Roy Oswalt left his start with a strained left hip abductor. He did get a W and a quality start, but his injury has to be cause for concern from Longball, since Oswalt's been solid the past month.
4. Fireman of the Year Candidate Brian Fuentes posted an ERA just slightly less than the price of a barrell of oil. Anytime a pitcher can go 1/3 of an inning and put up a 135.00ERA and a 15.00 WHIP... Blog is certainly impressed. Fuentes past 2 outings: 2/3 of an inning, 7 hits, 7 runs 1 walk, no strikeouts, 14 trade rumors.
5. MC Longball now trails BOB'Z BOYZ 7-1... just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...
