Interesting news on DH Masa Yoshida today.  He has had multiple tests on his hand/thumb, and therapy has been slow.  They say "he will be out a long time".  Hmmm.

Bello has been ineffective since coming off IL.  I read they put the team - and Bello - on a plane at 4:30 AM heading to St Louis.  He was probably gassed by the time he got out there, and had to start Friday's game.

Well we came from behind for the first time in what seemed like eons and belted our way to our fourth win in a row, paying back the Rays in their home for what they did to us in ours.  Now if only we could our team get well so as to get their best guys our there and maybe, I said maybe, we can make a go of it over the next couple of months.  From there, who knows?????
