So what are the odds Long gets the call if Crosby is hurt, and not Thompson?

You know, Womack is out there for the taking.

Looks like there has been an Erickson sighting too…

A decent effort from Wright today. Good.

“Sooner or later, Torre will be forced to put him in…”

Like today, for instance.

I sure am glad we called Reese up. The bench was getting mighty cold.

We didn’t get him to play. We didn’t get him to shop around. What’s he there for? Aesthetics? Sooner or later, Torre will be forced to put him in after he hasn’t been in a live game for 3 weeks and then shrug his shoulders in bewilderment when he doesn’t perform out of the gate, thus proving that only veterans should be given playing time. Kevin Reese, meet Andy Phillips.

I’m sure Long has a belly full of guts too. No skills but guts. Veteran guts.

DownFromNJ, the Clippers already signed a bunch of outfielders to replace them.

At the very least, Columbus needs another outfielder with Melky and Reese called up.

All I can say is that I hope the Yankees stick with Melky and don’t consider Terrence Long as the permanent replacement in LF until Matsui gets back.

At least Escalona can catch the ball at SS.

Terrence Long’s habit of circling around flyballs before catching (or missing) them has his teammates calling him Magellan.

Hehe…

Long or Escalona? pick your poison. I don’t see how he can help either.
