Sean Casey, Tiger F3, known as "The Mayor" because he keeps everyone happy, hit his first home run of the year last night. When he got back to the dugout he had to face an "obligatory" lack of acknowledgement from his teammates who acted like he had never even left the dugout and gone up to bat.

I've seen that done before, and it's funny to watch the expression of the hitter. How did Casey react?

I couldn't see the Sox or Yankees game at dinner last night - why was Posada playing 1B?

Dang, it looks like the chances of watching Cub players fighting each other may be going away.

It's being reported the Cubs have traded Michael Barrett to the Padres for a backup catcher and minor-league outfielder.

Interleague game with no DH. Mike Mussina doesn't like Posada catching him any more; he likes Wil Nieves, the back-up catcher. The Yankees wanted to keep Posada's hot bat in the line-up, so they threw him in at first. They were thinking of trying the same thing with Johnny Damon too. Every time Damon plays cf anymore, he gets hurt.

How can Damon hurt the arm he doesn't have?

That's why first base is perfect for him...

Everytime Damon plays an outfield position, he hurts something. The latest is his ribcage. His best position is permanent DH. That also helps by getting Giambi off the field.

Did you notice the Yankees started winning about the same time that Giambi went down? He can't play 1B and he just clogs up the offense unless he homers.And for only 20mil a year too......

No, the bridge under which I live is in the heart of downtown, metropolitan, thoroughly modern Springfield, MA -- which has access to satellite TV.

It's an East Coast vs. West Coast kind of thing, I guess. Congrats to the UNC Tarheels, who fought their way through the losers' bracket of the College World Series to reach the finals in a rematch of last year's finals against Oregon St. This is only the second time in the 61-year history of the event that the finals will be played by the same two teams in consecutive years.

Tony will probably be watching. Maybe Juulie will, too.

I would if I had ESPN. Maybe I'll find a friend's house to go to.

Mike Maroth was a good Tiger. Good luck in St. Louis.
