At ESPN LA, Daniel Braunstein has written a combined look back/look forward post about the just-completed season.
Also at ESPN LA there’s an unsigned (but probably Mark Saxon-written) post putting a letter-grade on the infield’s performance for the season. Hint: you’d probably not be promoted to the next grade if you got the one he assigned.
Roberto Baly has a lot of links at Vin Scully is my Homeboy, including a podcast of Vin Scully on AM570 radio.
Via Roberto comes this link to a Ken Gurnick story which informs us that Yasiel Puig had a staph infection in his elbow requiring surgery. It’ll take three to five weeks to rehab and it means he’ll miss the Arizona Fall League.
So, went around the corner and kissed the sidewalk in front of Walter Johnson old house. Then, went to Nat’s Park and saw history being made: The first post-season loss in Washington in 80 years!
Wallach is being interviewed for the job in Boston (I wonder if Loney will give him a reference)http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/8487887/tim-wallach-los-angeles-dodgers-drawing-interest-boston-red-sox-source
Wow!
For the infield as it existed at season’s end, that grade is a little unfair. But not so for what went before it.
Agreed.
Angel Pagan? After yeterday’s game, I have a bad feeling. Sure hope I’m wrong.
Where’d you see him mentioned?
Leadoff home run.
