Thursday's report

The Rookies are thinking: "Nine shutout innings should get you a win." (Matt Cain)

The Triple-A's are thinking: "Ten shutout innings should get you a win." (Cliff Lee)

The Fresh Fish and Pitch You Blockhead think their outfielders should stop plowing into the wall (Chris Young and Jon Jay).

Rick is the new closer killer. First he killed off Brian Wilson, then he picked up Joel Hanrahan, who now has a sore hammy. Other closers on waiver wire are running for cover.

And the Misfits' Freddie Freeman is starring in a new movie "Driving Mr. Spaulding" with 28 points in the past three games.

Tuesday's report

It's been rough opening for the defending champion Arbitration Losers. Their No. 1 pick (Tim Lincecum) has struggled out of the game. Their No. 2 pick (Justin Upton) may be headed to the DL. They have not scored more than 18 points in any one day in the past eight days. The player they drafted to play 1B is not yet eligible there. The player they drafted to play 3B is not yet eligible there. Johan Santana had two very good starts but no run support. Then he gets lit up in Atlanta. Perhaps they need to trade for David Murphy, because everything can could go wrong has gone wrong. But, again, it's early.

Conditional DL move

Arbitration Losers conditionally place OF Justin Upton on DL, activated OF Martin Prado
