Feliz Update

I know you're looking for a trade update, but so far there is none to report. But there is an update on Pedro Feliz, who is on the 15-day DL with lower back inflammation.

Feliz had a MRI on his back yesterday and was examined by team physician Michael Ciccotti. Back specialist Todd Albert at the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital then examined Feliz today, when he had an epidural injection. Feliz has a mild disc bulge in his back. He will not take part in any baseball-related activities until sometime next week.

Feliz can be activated from the DL on Aug. 9 against Pittsburgh, if he's ready.

Tick, tock, tick, tock...life on the trade front. Todd, you must hate this day like no other. No trade we go nuts, bad trade we go nuts, any trade we second guess to death. Be interesting to see if Lannan comes inside and high to Chase tonight. And if he does, let Kendrick drill their 3-4-5, get thrown out and let Happ finish.

How about a big RH bat and LH RP in the last hour?

Looks like what we have is what we have....maybe the distractions hanging over the boys' heads the past 6 weeks may finally be over and done with.....lets see if they can concentrate better and play more consistently the rest of the way.....

Just in: Manny Ramirez signs (he he) Brett Favre as his agent.

Hey Cheesehead, what are you thoughts on the Favre debacle?

Distractions? What distractions? The only one that should have been worried about getting traded is Myers. This team won't even make it into the playoffs.
