| Recent Blog Post: What Happened to Memorial Day? |
| Maybe I'm conjuring up false memories, wistfully looking back on a concept that didn't exist, but how is it that not every team is playing today? There are only five NL games, and six AL games. Almost all of the NL Central is off - STL, HOU, PIT and CIN are all off. SD played at home yesterday and is at home on Tuesday, but off today? And why isn't ESPN broadcasting *any* baseball games, let alone a slew of day games? Instead, they're broadcasting Lacrosse (ok, it's the NCAA finals, that's legit), the best of Mike & Mike, and an early Sportscenter? Really? I thought that they were a major partner of Major League Baseball.
Memorial Day is a national holiday, and generally considered the start of summer. This is baseball's day to start taking over the national consciousness. Every team should play on Memorial Day, Fourth of July (last year, there wasn't a full slate of games on the Fourth), and Labor Day. There's a lot of odd quirks about the schedule, and probably bigger gripes out there, but this just seems like a missed opportunity.

| The Padres have designated outfielder Drew Macias for assignment. This move officially clears a spot for the recently signed Tony Clark on the 40 man roster. Macias, who'll turn 25 in three weeks, is coming off a decent but unspectacular 2007 split about 75/25 between double A and triple A. His most positive attribute is his strike zone judgment as his BB/K ratio was almost even (72 to 78) last season in the minors. Unfortunately, that came with a .259 combined BA and only 10 home runs over the full season. Also, he bats from the left side just like Edmonds and Giles. He could probably have done the same job that Termel Sledge did last season but he won't get that chance now. There is a good possibility that Macias will now fade into oblivion, never getting a major league at-bat. |
