Hamilton might be done

“I’m playing when I’m able to play,” [Hamilton] said of his injured back Monday afternoon. “It hasn’t stopped hurting. The three injections I got helped, and for a while, it didn’t get worse, but once I got out there and ran, it started up again. [Sunday] I couldn’t go. Today, I feel a little better. I can probably pinch hit, but if I got on base, they’d have to run for me.”

....

Asked if it would be in his best interests to not play again this season, Hamilton said: “Absolutely.”

Hooray, common sense!

Duchscherer out for the season with depression

So much for any thought of trying to pick him up from the A's.

Marc Hulett tears into Salty/Wash

Marc Hulett tears into Salty/Wash

Dunno if anyone has seen this (it's a day old) but Marc Hulett over at Fangraphs makes some harsh judgements here on Saltalamacchia's abilites and criticizes Ron for playing him 71% of the time over Teagarden.

He has a point about Teagarden deserving more of a chance to showcase his abilities, but he seems to be unfairly kissing Salty off as a bust already while conveniently dismissing the fact that Tea has been just as bad/worse by spinning the SSS's.

Thought I'd get this up quick, since the last GDT is nearly up to a LL-style 800 comments.

So, we finally beat the Tigers. Yay.

Things we learned tonight: MY had a game indicitive of his season: great at the plate, horrid in the field. Blalock is still hot. Marlon Byrd is still a hacktastic boob. Nelson Cruz is still hitting too low in the order. And Josh Hamilton is still hurt.

Am I at 75 words yet?
