Sorry if Cabrera beat me to it.

This must be their response to Milton Bradley's ACL fiasco.

and..."As a result of his confrontation with umpire Mike Winters and attempts to restrain him by manager Bud Black, Padres outfielder Milton Bradley has a torn knee ligament and is out indefinitely. Mike Cameron, whose hand was accidentally spiked by Bradley (above), is out at least a week."

Milton Bradley is a disaster.

Is Lane the player to be named later in the Ensberg trade?

Oh, come on. He stopped short of killing someone, and he left a third of the starting outfield unscathed. Not too terrible.

Good luck to Jason. It's a shame that he and Mo were never able to get on track and stay there.

I was wondering how they were going to move Lane. I didn't think that there was any way that he'd make it to ST with the astros.

I'll remember his 4 big hits in the 2005 postseason: the 3 home runs and the rbi double.  Even his leadoff single in the 9th inning of Game 4 was nice, even though it didn't blossom.

Even more so since he can't be on the playoff roster.  Assuming they get in.

One thing about this organization...they try hard to give their castoffs a charitable going away gift....

Anyone need a light hitting second baseman?

Wait a minute here, if they DL Milton Bradley, he can be replaced on the roster. Does the replacement player have to come from the 40-man set on August 31st? Dunno...

Yes.  All stories I have seen have stated that he is not eligible for the postseason.

A major leaguer can't be the PTBNL.

It's be nice if Houston could combine the two PTBNL the Fathers owe them into one player worth a shit.

Over the course of many fruitless at bats, Jason appeared to have perfected that helpless look of impending doom that Doug Henry and Jay Powell made famous here in the late 90's.  I believe Jason one-upped them by developing an involuntary facial tick that would increase in frequency and intensity once he fell behind in a count.  However, I may be reminded that said tick did NOT make him unique among that trio....just that his was during his at bats.

Silliness aside, fare thee well, Lane.

 Lane can't be PTBNL, the Astro's  must get future consideration...maybe tickets for 4 to the ZOO!!! Or maybe some fish tacos? Or some of those cool camo jerseys.

Somewhere in their system, the Pads must have two beefy guys who, if combined, would look like Prince Fielder.
