– Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson went on the DL this weekend with a “mass” in his elbow. Yikes.

– The best quote of the weekend was Ozzie Guillen’s about Wrigley being a bar. I hate him with a passion, but I tend to agree with him.

– Since when has the trade of a productive utility player to a non-New York or Boston team generated so much interest? I am looking forward to Buster Olney’s analysis when the Yankees acquire Willie Bloomquist (preferably for Phil Hughes).

– Zack Greinke gave up 2(!) runs in 6.1 IP Sunday before the rains came. I’m not going to complain about the rain delay though because that made Trey Hilman pull Zack after just 80 pitches. With Gil Meche admitting that his arm’s tired after an unnecessary 132 pitch complete game, this is a well-deserved respite for Greinke given Hillman’s tendency to leave him in.

– The Marlins want a closer, and have apparently inquired about Heath Bell and Joakim Soria. That doesn’t make sense to me as Leo Nunez could probably capably fill the 9th inning, and the asking prices for Bell and Soria would be pretty costly in terms of prospects. And anyway, Soria is signed to a long term deal. That doesn’t fit with the Marlins’ philosophy.

– Ryan Langerhans was traded from the Nationals to the Mariners. Believe it or not, Langerhans is already 29.

– Albert Pujols hit two homers Saturday. Ho hum.
