MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

[ColoradoCub]

Braves released Glavine.

[Clapp]

White Sox call up Gordon "Helmet Hair" Beckham.

Wilson Betemit DFA'd. Tons of power in that bat and hasn't ever gotten a chance to play too much. Anyway, he can play every position in the infield. I'd be interested.

[AlexV]

Braves acquire Nate McLouth.

Betemit would be a good pickup, send Scales or Blanco to AAA where they belong.

Yesterday's performance earned that move.

I hope Hendry doesn't do the unthinkable.

I HATE Betemit BTW. He's such a Cub though. Can't seem to do anything right.

He's also the first 300 game winner to beat all 30 teams, and the second oldest to get there.

Brewers lose. Carpenter throwing a 2-hit shutout through 6, now has a 0.50 ERA. The Cardinals are the team to be worried about, unless the Brewers add a Peavy.

9 ip, 28 abs, 3 hits, 0bb 3K 1hr. That is a masterpiece. Probably not a stressful pitch the entire game, he could probably go again Sunday.

"Alex Rios leaving a charity event. After going 0-5 and 5 strikeouts he refused to sign autographs! He wanted his fans to know what it was like to strikeout! Then a man gives him a piece of his mind... "

A grown man calls another grown man a bum because the second grown man won't sign an autograph for the first grown man? I think the 2nd grown man telling the first grown man to fuck off was more than appropriate.

Who gives a fuck?
