I'm back...

Well - another three month hiatus is out of the way so it must be time for a few busy days of massive posts before I take a nap until Christmas.

Anyway, since I last contributed to this blog:

Edgardo Alfonzo was released...

Jeff Weaver was released...

Esteban Yan was released...

Jered Weaver turned into Cy Young...

Joe Saunders turned into Jimmy Key...

Jeff Mathis was dismissed to AAA after 39 AB's...

Mike Napoli was promoted and started hitting like Adam Dunn v. 2001, then slumped and started hitting like Adam Dunn v. 2006...

Casey Kotchman got mono and is dizzy...

Dallas McPherson got hurt - again...

Kendry Morales was promoted and looked great, then not so much. Unfortunately, just as he started looking good again Stoneman demoted him to AAA...

Howie Kendrick was promoted and holy crap does he look good....

Kelvim Escobar has a gimpy elbow...

Juan Rivera is hitting like Sammy Sosa v. 1998...

Bartolo Colon has an injured shoulder...

Orlando Cabrera is earning his salary this year...

I still think that Maicer Izturis is better than Orlando Cabrera...

Brendan Donnelly, Hector Carrasco and J.C. Romero aren't any good anymore...

Thank god for Scot Shields and a sometimes shakey K-Rod.

The team stunk from April through June...

The team rocked in July...

Bill Stoneman didn't do anything stupid at the trade deadline - but he didn't do anything inspired either...

The team is smelling a little funny in August and sits in 2nd place, 3 games back of Oakland...

Anyway, that about sums up the season up to this point.

Enjoy.
