Pickoff Moves

Kendry Morales Decreasingly Likely To Make The Club

As each day passes that Kendry Morales doesn't appear in an Angels uniform, so does another day pass that he won't make the team. Morales remains stuck in the Dominican with visa problems thanks to his defection from Cuba.

Kennedy Takes Groundballs

In that same story: Adam Kennedy took grounders, two days ahead of schedule. The balls, easy balls hit straight at him, proved no challenge for the second baseman, but "'[i]f I had to move to my right and throw back across my body, it might be a different story,' Kennedy said." Kennedy tore two ligaments fielding an Ichiro groundball last year.

Jeff Kent entering the Hall of Fame in a Dodgers uniform? Heh, you bet, and talk about a sweet way for the Dodgers twist the knife a little.

Penny Throws From The Mound

Brad Penny threw 50 pitches from the mound, to no ill effect.

Scammers set up fake bank websites to swindle those too dumb to realize that, no, there's no former Nigerian oil minister waiting to give you a million or two in exchange for your bank account number. These guys turn around and flood their websites with traffic until they cry Uncle, or their service providers do. Heh.
