Graffy out for the year...

by baseballdan1092 on Aug 9, 2007 6:12 PM CDT

Tony Graffanino is done for the year. He torn his ACL in yesterday game. Graffanino will undergo surgery as soon as his swelling subsides, according to a team spokesman. The Brewers have re-called Rickie Weeks from triple-A Nashville. He was batting 10-22.
"He's obviously a big part of this team," said fellow veteran utility man Craig Counsell.

surgery

I underwent the same surgery three years ago today. Just thought I'd share.

We lose Graffy, Cubs lose Soriano & ARam

Seems like a fair trade to me. Now cub fans can have no excuses.

Agreed.

Yet somehow the Cubs have put up 9 runs on the Rockies in 3 innings.

Walk to Pitcher then an error

Well, in the second inning, there were two outs with some men on base. The Rockies pitcher walks ted lilly and then theriot grounds a weak grounder to third that Atkins let go right under his glove. Three more runs score after this. So the score should have been 1-0, but instead was 4-0. Who knows what would have happened if this didn't happen?

Hello God.

Please let me be wrong when I said there was no way Weeks would come back and get hot yet this year.

Oh, and uh, same lottery numbers as last week, ok?
