So it’s September, which means that we’ll get to see a slightly expanded roster. Brent Lillibridge, James Parr, Corky Miller, and Jeff Ridgway. (Ridgway makes me unaccountably mad these days: he’s been terrible every time he sniffs the big leagues these days, and of course Willy Aybar, who couldn’t clean himself up when he was [...]

Richmond 5, Columbus 8 J. Anderson 2-5 2B, K B. Canizares 2-3 2B, 2 BB C. Miller 3-3 2B, HR(2), BB Wow, I think Corky Miller equaled his season hit total in Atlanta in one game with Richmond.

Javy Lopez is retiring. He was cut from the big league roster, and chose to retire rather than accepting a minor league assignment, which seems reasonable. His 2006 was disastrous, he didn't play in 2007, and in 2008 he was unable to put daylight between himself, Corky Miller, Clint Sammons, and Brayan Pena. But he was a [...]
