Hooray youth movement!!
Scott McClain is here!! In case you missed it, McClain, Hennessey and Holm called up. GRod DFA’d, to add McClain to the 40 man. Fresno has another game left and since the Rockies are using a lefty, Bowker and Nate stay down another day.

I have no problem with calling up McClain. Reward the guy for having a nice year in AAA and give him a chance to finally hit his first ML homer.
by Natto on Sep 1, 2008 11:56 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I have no problem with McClain either, if he just pinch hits and gets an occasional start, but Bochy will somehow do something that gets on my nerves. McClain is here and so is Roelinger, and there’s Rich Aurilia getting yet another start today.

I think Dibble’s getting ahead of himself – everyone else says they’ve called up Holm, McClain, and Hennessey, and that Schierholtz and Bowker will be called up tomorrow.

Random, but
Anyone else have Comcast for their Internet connection? If so, have you been having problems with your connection lately? My connection seems to be grinding to a halt for half an hour or so regularly right in the middle of the day lately – which is kind of a huge problem for me as I work from home. Wondering if it’s just me or if they suck for everyone at the moment. Grumble, grumble.

We used to have Comcast, we got rid of it. Our connection would go out everytime it rained! The service dude said that the rain / moisture had nothing to do with it, there was nothing wrong with the line and charge us $50 for the “house call.” Next time it rained…it’d go out again.
After that happened 4x we got rid of comcast!

I’m fine with Ochoa at short. I like Burriss a little better, but Ochoa seems adequate.
His D seems to fall apart when he moves accross the diamond and the chance that he’s going to outhit the rest of 2B semi-prospects seems pretty small.
