Not A Very Encouraging Day On The Injury Front

Here is a recap of news from Dodger land, as per Joe Torre's pregame meeting with reporters:
1) As expected, Russell Martin is out for the year.
From Ben Maller of Fox Sports Radio:
Joe Torre: "Russell Martin will be on crutches for the next three weeks. It's safe to say he's out for the year."
Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times tells us who will replace Martin:
Ausmus and Ellis will split catching duties for the #Dodgers.
What about Lucas May, who was traded to Kansas City for Scott Podsednik, you ask? Seth from Dingers Blog brings it:
Torre: Lucas May wasn't an option for this year
2) Manny Ramirez had a setback in his rehabilitation
From Maller:
Joe Torre: "Manny (Ramirez) was given the day off from baseball activity. Still has some aggrivation in the calf."
From Hernandez:
Torre on Manny: "He doesn't seem close."
3) Ronald Belisario is close to returning
From Maller:
Joe Torre: "Ronald Belisario could return in 7-10 days. It depends on the restricted list stuff."
From Hernandez:
Belisario could start a minor-league rehabilitation assignment on Saturday, Torre said.
Perhaps more detail will come out on this, but I was under the impression that players could only be on the restricted list for 30 days. Belisario was placed on the restricted list on July 7, which makes today the 30th day he has been on the list. Perhaps the paperwork wasn't filed until the next day, July 8, which would make tomorrow the 30th day, which would make sense given Torre's quote about Belisario being able to begin a rehab assignment Saturday. My guess is that on Saturday, the Dodgers have to add Belisario back to the 40-man roster, which is not an issue right now since there are only 38 players.
In other news, James McDonald had a nice debut in Pittsburgh: six shutout innings, four hits, one walk, eight strikeouts.

Nationals make a change for Sunday. Scott Olsen bumped for Jason Marquis. It’ll be his first start since April 18th.
Sorry you don't feel good, Humma.
That was always my Dad’s advice.
I mean, he attended Phoenix Junior College for a semester. Who am I to argue with that background?
or
drink some ginger ale

Humma is so powerful in
his part of Soviet Russia, he changed the culture and made em Gin drinkers.
This guy is something else.
Ha LOLincecum
Edge hits a homer… 3-2 Braves
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Why Gwynn was out
Per Corey Brock of MLB.com:
Tussle with a bad pillow left #Padres OF Gwynn a mess Wednesday’s. Feeling better today. Now said that he’ll travel with his own pillow.

I'm done with the EPL
I’ve decided Barcelona are my new team. I became disappointed with Chelsea after I read up on their team history, specifically the anti Tottenham stuff
How would you define your approach to management, apart from being brilliant?
Good for you
I’ve liked Barcelona since the 90’s… That club is like an identity to that region of Spain…
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
I almost dated a
catalonian. In that, things happened, but I couldn’t lock him down.

I think you should
aim high when selecting a new team. I would consider choosing a team that spends money like crazy!
Oh, you already did that!
J/K Barca is a GREAT club. I respect the crap out of them. I do support Chelsea and don’t give a shit about Tottenham crap.
LOL
Excellent choice! So much to like.

English Premier League
How would you define your approach to management, apart from being brilliant?
You regret
expanding your horizons to contain knowledge of a football league operating well before the NFL, capable of maintaining more teams in a smaller space, and with rivalries both meanful and racist?

I kid because I care
My two daughters both play trave soccer (U-12 & U-10). I appreciate their skill and passion for the game, but can’t get into it more than that.
that's dedication, travel soccer
I don’t think most parents know just how much travel will be involved til their in the thick of it

That’s when the time-honored tradition of hobbling one’s children comes into play.
Can’t play if you can’t run.
yep,
oldest has been playing for 4 years and it’s the youngest’s first year on travel. Not too intense yet, just a big time investment. Labor Day weekend should be interesting. They’re both in tourneys, but in different areas
My 11 year old cousin, based in LA
had her family in San Diego last week, near Oakland this weekend.

my aunt's
a micromanager with her daughter. It’s like watching The Sims in real life. I try and be the kids best adult friend, so it’s my apartment she runs away from home to. I’ve always wanted to corrupt a teen, family member is like +5

Yeah that sucks for the kid, I guess
I worry that my wife is a little neurotic like that. Our kid is only 2, but she is always on top of her watching her every move.
She jumps on the couch and my wife screams! I just sit there and give it the ole, “she appears to be having fun. If she falls and hurts herself, she will know Daddy wasn’t full of shit when he told me that would happen.”
It drives her nuts that I am this way.
you buying?
failed his written for his permit 2 weeks ago and hasn’t gone back since. MD law is permit for 9 months and then you can get your license
He copied me!
I didn’t bother studying much for the written, and failed it too. Didn’t have to wait that long though.
My grandparents
gave this big grey van, cause I was in a band in high school. I was like, wait, really?
How would you define your approach to management, apart from being brilliant?
yeah
so we could transport drums and amps and whatnot. But as Keith implied….
How would you define your approach to management, apart from being brilliant?
I get it now.
I thought in your first comment you said it was because you were in band, not a band. Makes sense now.
and less be honest
every band is a front for sex

Reverse course
I’m no longer thinking wild card (too complicated). It’s division or bust. Let’s do this!
Daughter #1 will be at the game. She would already have been at Mecca but she missed a turn and had do a U-turn at Universal Studios.
She must have gotten her sense of direction from her uncles.
He did
I’m guessing Jonah Hill would be me.
Stumped on Kelly…perhaps if there was an older version of Paul Rudd.
you can't prove i did, oh wait yes you can, nevermind
and i’ve never seen Kenny Powers, but i heard it’s hilarious
Freak out
Phenom at the plate, 1st and 2nd, facing LOOGY
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
anyone see this?
Zack Greinke questioning how long he’ll be with Royals if they don’t put together a winning team.

any athlete who is awesome as all hell but plays on a sucky team.

Gary Brown is a bonafide superstar
LOLOLOLOL

Dallas radio host Randy Galloway (hearing his voice, I’m shocked to hear he is from the south — no offense, Keith) and Mark Cuban get into it a little bit, in a radio interview.

I have zero doubt in my mind that Galloway eats Diablo Sandwiches and drinks Dr. Pepper for lunch.

does my love of Dr. Pepper

Hey man
I know they are into some freaky shit in Tennessee (we all know the real reason Maddz is heading southeast), but geez.
Speaking Of "Shit On"....
I just learned that Charlton Heston’s surname “Heston” literally means “shit on” in the Greek language. Apparently decades ago, when his movies would play in Greek movie theaters, he would be billed on the marquee as “Charlton Easton.”
You blew it up!
Damn you to hell!
That’s him, right?

Y'know that Lowe's commercial
where the newlyweds are running their first house, and things keep going wrong. I feel like that girl’s performance, especially with the really green room, is worthy of building a movie around.

YES!

Bad guys can suck it

’Cause I have one already :)

Damn really
2-2. Who’s gonna be my tie breaker?

Meanwhile the Phillies coughed up the lead. They’re down 4-2 in the 8th.
A Dodger win would make this a very successful sports day.
best of times, worst of times
A win would put the Dodgers back at the outer-fringe of being back in this thing, which would be kind of astounding, given how we were all feeling Monday night. But it doesn’t mask all the bad injury news and other off-field mishaps. But hey- guess we could be glad that the J-Mac trade worked out for the Dodgers today, ironically enough.
OT
That catwalk rule in Tropicana is just stupid… Just open the roof, rip it off whatever… Get rid of that rule…
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Belly on the restricted list
So assuming Belly goes down to Triple A tomorrow or Saturday for his rehab, would love to see him ready at least for Atlanta. Assume once he is ready, Troncoso will go down.
