First off, Lee Gardner has been placed on the 60-day DL. Then Matt Treanor's abdominal strain turns out to be a strained left hip - he is on the 15-day DL but could be out indefinitely. Mike Rabelo has been placed on the 7-day Minor League DL, and is said by Beinfest to be 'banged up' (although he is still giving autographs ). So John Baker has been called up and will start today. Meanwhile, Dan Uggla...

Talk about a rarity, Misty May-Treanor and Matt Treanor actually crossed paths during the season. Misty was winning in Boulder and Matt was, or suppose to be, in Denver. But those towns aren't that far apart. The week was good in more ways than one for May-Treanor. Besides notching the victory, she and her husband, Matt Treanor, crossed paths for one of the very few times this time of year. Treanor...

It turns out MLB isn't so proud of Matt Treanor's work at the bat. Catcher Matt Treanor received a warning Tuesday from Major League Baseball for slow play. "They said I'm in and out of the (batter's) box," Treanor said. "I've never been told by an umpire to hurry up." Treanor noted by batting eighth, he sometimes has to buy the pitcher time if the first two hitters make quick outs. Oh, like he is...

'Batting seventh for the first time this year, the left-handed hitter opened the bottom of the second inning with a walk in a 2-2 game.
