4/6

-Frustrating loss today in Texas. Wake pitched really well but we were uncharacteristically impatient at the plate. That shouldn't happen too often this season though. Ortiz is ice cold, which wont last. Coco looks like trash with those tentative swings. Luckily we have Pena as a backup plan for Blowco Crisp or DL Drew. Texas waived Wilkinson home and tested Manny on a single in the 2nd inning. If that was Tek back there, the slide would have got stuffed by his shin pad. Teks the best at that move.

-Damon's leg cramps turned out to be a strain, atleast in the right leg. He should make a trip to the 15 day DL. They'll make a final decision by tomorrow. they could use the roster spot though so its likely. If he gets put on the DL, it would be the first time in his career, pretty amazing.

-Beltran is a stud. I watch a lot of Mets games on mlb.tv because its an exciting lineup to watch, and Beltran just makes baseball look easy. Hes got five tools no doubt. I love that switch hitting swing too. Just imagine that if anyone claimed Manny off waivers back in 2003, we would have probably signed Beltran or Vlad.

-It's early, but McCann might turn out to be the best hitting catcher in the game, not Mauer.

-Watch the Devil Rays. They'll blow your mind with their speed. Upton and Elijah Dukes might be sticking around for awhile. Dukes atleast as a 4th OF.

-Jeff Francouer has a Red Sox credit card. Kid is a die hard fan. Gammons was telling a story about him on Team USA. A-Rod was chewing out some clubhouse kid who brought him the wrong sandwich. I guess Frenchy, a rookie at the time, got in Rodriguez face and told him to lay off. They had some words and then needed to be separated by Chipper and some other muscle. I like that kid.

-The KC announcer on mlb.tv called our shortstop Coolio Lugo on wed. He messed up saying it but I think thats Lugos new nickname. Coolio Lugo.
