1. How'd Scotty do for Kane County? (I could look it up, I suppose)
2. So Tampa traded for Crain (who was on the DL) and now he's on the 60-day? That's worse than when Atlanta traded for Octavio Dotel and got him for five appearances before a 45-day DL stint. (Joke was on KC though: traded for Kyle Davies.)
3. Still surprised that Cholly got the ax.
Okay. Four innings, one run on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts. The run came on a homer.
