Jorge had his surgery today, so he's done for the season... the good thing is that it was arthroscopic, so that makes you feel a little better but he's still got a long recovery ahead of him. Hopefully things will go smoothly and he won't miss much, if any of next year.
We've made a few trades the last week or so... most recently, we traded away Kyle Farnsworth (he was pitching much better this season, but I'd rather lose him than someone else... not much of an emotional attachment for me there)... and got Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez from the Tigers. As great a job as Jose Molina is doing... he's never been an everyday catcher, so I think this is a smart move.... we need him big time and can't afford to lose him to an injury with the way he's been handling the pitchers, etc. Pudge is obviously a great player, and we can use an extra bat in the lineup with Jorge and Matsui (still trying to do the rehab thing) out. Hopefully we can make a run at a playoff spot (even if we have have to settle for the wild card).

but gosh darn it, MY ballpark was full of history too and I
didn't see any "Top 10 Busch Stadium Moments" on ESPN <Yes I'm jealous, I admit it!> And even if there were, the Sox winning in 04
would be #1 on ESPN's list LMAO!
it's not the best feeling. They're tied (for the moment) but
anything can happen. (have I mentioned how much I hate this park?!
) At
least we don't get Oswalt on this trip <shudders> I need this man on MY team; I want to
like him, I really do, but when he shuts down my team every freaking time we play them, he's not very high on my list! (I just noticed these little things
to do to your fonts, guess I got carried away, sorry
)
