Pickoff Moves
Roster Moves
- Dioner Navarro was sent down to AAA Las Vegas in exchange for C Mike Rose. DePodesta wanted Navarro to keep getting at bats and not rust on the bench. Rose was hitting .294 for Las Vegas. Rose, who was not on the 40-man roster, was added by DFA'ing Buddy Carlyle.
- Hee Seop Choi didn't play yesterday because of a stiff left forearm.
- The Dodgers will face minor leaguer John Koronka on Wednesday instead of Mark Prior.
- The Times says the Dodgers are thinking about bringing Ryan Rupe on board as an emergency replacement.
Rupe pitched a complete game and struck out 11 for triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday. He is 2-1 with a 3.80 earned-run average, with four walks and 28 strikeouts in 24 innings.
- The Chisox' Frank Thomas injured his hip flexor during yesterday's game. He is day-to-day.
- Update: Raul Mondesi has been DFA'd, possibly ending his major league career.
- The A's activated SS Bobby Crosby, sending Keith Ginter to AAA Sacramento.
White Sox 5, Angels 4
Given Shields' heavy use lately, was it unexpected for him to finally blow a save? I think not. But, hey, the Rally Monkey got going there for a little while.Dirtbag Star Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki Feature Article

MLB.com projected him to go third, to Seattle."He has endless potential,'' said A's shortstop Bobby Crosby, a former Long Beach State star who talks with Tulowitzki several times a month. "He's the same type of guy I was in college. He came into Long Beach a little raw, but you could tell he had a great work ethic.''
A's Snap Skid, Beat Rays 5-4
The victory snapped an eight-game losing streak. Idiot Philip Michaels contemplates what he wants in his postseason stocking if the A's don't win it, and he decides that, aside from the Angels and Texas losing the division, it's for the O's and Twins to win their respective divisions, and maybe the Giants to take the NL West, if only for co-author Jason Snell to have some fun toward the end of the season, though he "wouldn't mind" seeing the Dodgers win. The ambivalence of a baseball fan saddled with a weak team...The Little Hall
The Vero Beach Dodgers recently inaugurated their own Hall of Fame, which made me wonder: why don't the Dodgers have such a thing? Or do I just not know about it?Find A Tailor, Duaner
The Times reports that MLB says his pants are too long, and he must get them trimmed or else pay a $1,000 fine or more for each day in the future he doesn't get them trimmed. What's next? Making Gagné clean his cap?
