Panic Button?


I guess this is the start of hitting the panic button? Sent Cotts to the minors(thank God!). Sent Scales to the minors(don't really understand). Brought up our hitting star, Jake Fox. He's a converted catcher playing OF,1B, and 3B, but a liability anywhere. He was batting .423 with 17 HRs. Also brought up SS-Andres Blanco who was batting .314 to replace Miles who is apparently injured. Lastly, brought up some reliever, LHP-Jason Waddell that I had never heard of. He had a 5.51 ERA. Not sure why we didn't bring up Samardzija, Jeff Stevens(1.77ERA), or Greg Reinhard(2.25 ERA). I guess because the are not lefties, but come on. Can we make a trade already!? Rumors are many. Dan Uggla (currently batting .209)or Jorge Cantu(terrible fielder) from Florida. Matt Holliday from Oakland, but he can only play LF. That means Soriano to 2B. Talk of bringing DeRosa and Wood back. My personal least favorite-Omar Vizquel. Doesn't that sound Cubbish? Can you say Nomar Garciaparra? Can we invite the Pirates back to town?

Big win vs. Billingsley, although I'd like to mention these two series: Runners at 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs. Fontenot lines out to 2B. Hill K's. Blanco pops out to 1B. Runner at 3rd and 0 outs. Lee grounds out to P. Hoffpauir and Fontenot ground out to 1B. Come on. Nice outing by Dempster yesterday. Sweet Lou says Fontenot will pretty much be everyday 3B with Scales and Blanco at 2B. I'd like to send Blanco back down and we need a righthanded hitting 3B option vs. lefties. Here's a look at the pitching match-ups in the last 2 games of the Dodgers series(they haven't decided on the starter in the last game):
