Boxscore

In case you didn’t hear, Nate McLouth was optioned to AAA before the game today. I’m a fan of Nate beyond what he does or doesn’t do on the field. I think he seems like a good guy to have on the team and around the clubhouse. That being said, we are in too tight of a pennant race for him to work out his issues at the major league level right now. I hope he is able to “fix” whatever is wrong quickly and that we’ll see him back up here soon.

On the same note, I personally hope that we get to see Blanco get the majority of the playing time over Cabrera. Blanco wasn’t called up to replace McLouth, but thats most likely due to the fact that he has to wait 10 days after being sent back to the minors before he can return. We should see him up in about 4 days.
