    Unfortunately no, hell of a drive for me. 250+ miles probably... Much easier for me once I'm back in school in LA

    Blanton - I think he would be useful in long relief if it came down to it.

    I like the move but wonder who is getting sent down. Should be interesting. I would imagine it has to be Fife. Second time up, he has callups remaining. I also wonder if we will not see Lilly and RDL until the rosters are expanded. If we do, one or two have to be moved. I would imagine it will be Uribe being DFAd or having a mystery injury all of the sudden.

    The hilarious thing to that is that I actually own a Loney jersey. Lol.

    We knew people that got MLB jerseys ridiculously cheap from China ($30-$40), and they were out of all the good players.

    I have a Loney shirt albeit the old number 29, ever since he changed his number he's been crap.

    iDK if he will pitch better than Barney, man. Fife did OK for us; he knows what he's doing out there.
    Although Blanton might be better than Harang or Capuano lately. That's a distinct possibility.

    props to Blanton; 2 ER in 6 innings, quality start

    the bullpen (3 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 HR and 2 blown saves) not so much...

    Much better than Harang would have done.
