On this date back in 2003, Johnny Damon hit a single, a double, and a triple in a 14-run first inning against the Marlins. The Red Sox set a league record by scoring ten runs before making an out.
On to the linkage...
- Matthew Pouliot of Circling The Bases says that Dayton Moore's moves over the last season and a half are enough to warrant his dismissal. He notes they have a more than qualified replacement already in-house in senior advisor Mike Arbuckle.
- Ben Bolch of The LA Times notes that Jason Schmidt threw 104 pitches over 7.2 shutout in a rehab start yesterday. We know the Dodgers are looking for pitching, but a healthy and reasonably effective Schmidt could lessen that urgency.
- Tracy Ringolsby writes that Garrett Atkins' recent hot streak creates "more of a possibility of another team having interest in acquiring him." Atkins is hitting .340-.415-.553 in June.
- The Rangers have been getting good production from unexpected sources like Jason Jennings, says Ken Sherrington of The Dallas Morning News.
- Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez says he's happy to be in Colorado, according to Susan Slusser of The SF Chronicle.
- Joe Cowley tweets this Ozzie Guillen quote: "The people that run baseball teams now are soft." I wonder what Kenny Williams thinks about that.
- Marc Carig writes that the Rockies had begun combing through the Yankees' farm system in advance of a potential Huston Street trade back in May.
Pavano started that game.

Jason who?
We've been waiting for him longer than Godot.

Montero? Lol, he is one of the best hitting prospects in baseball.

Not sure who you were talking to, but I was laughing at the thought of trading him for Street. I would write a personal hate letter to Brian Cashman if that happened.

Dayton, do you have any room for a slack-jawed, booger eating moron like me? I seem to have worn out my welcome in Atlanta and need a new stall to call home.
Senilithy and incontenence are my calling card. I would immediately want to trade Greinke for Corky Miller and the ghost of Keith Lockhart.

I call BS on this. There is no way Jason Schmidt is alive let alone threw 7.2 innings or 104 pitches. You guys need to check your source.

Not 100% here, but I'm sure the Ozzie quote was more a positive statement made in the direction of Lou Pinella as opposed to criticizing GMs or owners. If anything, other managers might be able to take offense. Must be a slow week if this is the Ozzie quote that people are hoping will become something to write about.
