Triple-A -- Tacoma 1, Portland 0 Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4 Will Venable (CF): 0-for-2, 2 BB Justin Huber: 0-for-4 Brian Myrow: 0-for-3, BB Chip Ambres (RF): 0-for-3, BB Nick Hundley (DH): 0-for-4 Luis Rodriguez: 0-for-3 Wade LeBlanc: 7 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 0 BB, 9 SO, HBP The Beavers and Rainiers combined for a total of five hits -- not your typical PCL game... Rodriguez is hitting .100/.217/.200 in eight games since returning from the disabled list. Part of that may be due to rust, part due to the fact that -- strong start notwithstanding -- he's ...

Fun win Friday night. A buddy of mine scored us some sweet seats in the Toyota Terrace for the excellent price of free. Among other things we got to see Greg Maddux pitch a gem and Chase Headley knock his first homer in San Diego. My wife and I particularly enjoyed watching Headley and Khalil Greene homer, as well as watching Paul McAnulty battle in the eighth to work a walk against Detroit's Joel Zumaya and then fall over the fence along the right-field foul line to make a game-ending catch. We saw all three of those players when they were at Lake Elsinore (not at the same time), and it's cool to see them now contributing at the big-league level. The only ...

Wil Ledezma is frustrating to watch. He pumps mid-90s fastballs but appears to have very little aptitude for pitching...
