Adam Kennedy got thrown out trying to steal off Sandy Alomar, Jr.

I don't really know how I feel about that, but I'm leaning towards not good.

Word is that Looper stayed behind to pitch in the minor-league game so he could get in his full day's work - 65-70 pitches, 5 or 6 innings. Had they had him do that against the Mets, there wouldn't be much work for the relievers they want to look at, hence the Ginter start - he'll probably only go 4 innings, which leaves plenty of innings for the others - Isringhausen, Springer, Dove, and Thompson are all scheduled to pitch today.

I'd rather ol' Ginter didn't come out this inning. I'm not so interested in seeing him pitch.

Never mind.

thanks, I reclicked and got it back, but its really choppy

Ginter's out of there now after 4 solid innings - 1 hit, 1 walk, 3 K's.

I assume Izzy will be first man out of the pen - they want him pitching to the "real" players, not to the late-in-the-game group.

Izzy time

him healthy and Wells acting like a shorter Jeff Suppan are key this year

Supposedly they will have Izzy pitch both today and tomorrow and see if he can handle back-to-back appearances, then give him Sunday off.
