IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS EXCITING



A few quick notes before the rundown and such;
    Mark Kotsay looking like he was working his right shoulder and fidgeting last night after diving for two low liners in center. More so after the second sprawl in the 6th off the base hit by Aubrey Huff. It looked like he rolled over his right shoulder with his arm under him. A little awkward, but not too awkward. He still went up hacking during his at-bat in the bottom of the 8th and he didn't seem too concerned with it. But it is something to note since he does have a history with his back (who doesn't have a history with their back?). With a night game Saturday he may or may not start. Call it 6-4 and pick 'em.

    Lou Pinella set the American League record (again) for slowest stroll back to the dugout after arguing a call with an umpire in the 6th. A 34 step walk turns into a 3 and a half minute amble for Lou and he never seems to take a straight line back to the dugout.

    Marco Scutaro did a little extra flexing of his knee after snaring a ground ball in the 9th. He was most likely going to be out of the lineup on Saturday with a right-handed pitcher starting, anyway.
