A's deal Ryan Langerhans to Washingotn for Chris Snelling. Langerhans played two games with Oakland and was hitless. He also misplayed a line drive for a two base error in yesterday's game. That will be three teams in five days for him.
Piazza left tonight's game vs. Boston with a shoulder injury-- looks bad, awaiting results. Play similar to the one in Toronto a few years back where Jeter dislocated his shoulder on opening day-- a baserunning/sliding collision with 3B Mike Lowell in this instance.
He's making $13.5 Million this year. 2007 stats: OBP .221 BA .169 SLG: .180 He has thrown out 8 of 26 would be base-stealers, but has also allowed 5 passed balls. Piazza, meanwhile, leads his team in hitting at .274
Jason Kendall is horrible. For all the knocks on Piazza's D, I'd rather have him dehind the plate than an offensive non-entity like Kendall, who has to be one of the most overpaid players in the majors.
Watching the A's-Mariners...the following question was thrown out as part of their daily broadcast: Over the past three years which players have the highest percentage of their hits as singles? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Post your responses soon, before the beeers kick in and I forget.
]They'll be lovin' arod within a week or two if this keeps up. They gave Giambi a pass, they'd give Mussolini a pass if it meant another ring. I read this thrice before realizing it was Mussolini and not Mussina-- much funnier now that I clarified it.
