Rolen

« Happy Birthday! | Main | Catching Up With The Transactions »

I figured if I ignored it long enough someone else would do the grisley duty of commenting on the loss of Scott Rolen for 15 days. But since no one else is going to mention it I'll give it the most passing treament I can muster.

Scott Rolen ran into Hee-Seo Choi. Note to Scott:

We love the hard nosed, head down style of play. But maybe you could keep your head up while running the bases and stop running into people?

Thanks,

Cardinals Fans

The Cardinals have a 4 game lead on Milwaukee, and the with the rest of the central threatening like a Home Alone villian this isn't really that big of a deal. It does however remind us of the Cardinals frailty and that makes it an unpleasant enough event that I really don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about it.

Will the Brewers really be able to maintain second place, probably not. Still not a reason to assume the Central is ours. Loosing Rolen hurts, but if he can get healthy and get back to contributing (he's been mediocre at best in that department) the season's outcome will be much better.

In lieu of a game-chatter entry:

Welcome back, Yady. Impressive way to tell everybody the ankle owie wasn't as bad as it looked.

Nice to see A.J. Soprano close out today's game.

Mabry's doing pretty well as Rolen's fill-in so far: 5-for-9 at the plate, as well as a couple of stellar plays in last night's win.

No wonder they take such a long break between seasons.

Uh, think again. Rolen will likely miss 4-6 weeks, according to Bernie in the P-D. And judging from the fact it's the same shoulder that put him out for the 2002 playoffs, no way should they take a chance.

Plan on seeing lots of Saebol and Mabry.

It's the other shoulder. The MRI showed the October shoulder is fine. See Paletta's comments in the AP story.
