THE WEEK IN McCABE S-14 #5

TRADES
The TAMPA BAY RAYS traded Wiki Cayones to the DETROIT TIGERS for Bubbles Aubrey
Detroit gets a guy who can eat some innings and keep his team in the game. The Rays get young "Tiny" Bubbles Aubrey, who hopes to make the bigs one day when he grows up.

M L INJURIES
Bronson Jennings
Bronson "the Vigilante" Jennings got hung up with a stiff groin. Hes already back hanging curves and executing pitches for the Brewers.

John Martin
This Pirate will be ashore for 2 months with a Ankle Bone bruise. Lefty will try and talk him into a peg-leg to cure his ailment.ARRGGHH!! 

Eli Martinez
Eli  Martinez is back on the DL.This time its just a little Elbow inflamation. The Bluejays will want to get him back on the field soon. 

Alberto Garza
The Rockies signed this guy for 1 year to shag flies in CF. A sprained shoulder will keep Garza out for 3 weeks.

Erik Washburn
Erik "Ball" Washburn sprained his shoulder and will miss a month. I guess the Injuns will have dirty Balls for awhile.


Tom Joyner
The Broncos will lose Tom "If you can't Beat her" Joyner for 2 weeks. He's sidelined by a Stiff Groin.
I guess theres not enough joining going on.

Brett Rivers
Brett "Muddy" Rivers and his 8.1 million per year were traded to the Twins this season. Now he will be out a month and a half with a strained elbow. Kind of muds things up in the land of 10,000 lakes.

Zachrey Coles
This guy has been passed around more than Hiedi Fleiss at a Hollywood party. Now Zachary "Lump of" Coles will miss 8 months with shoulder surgery. Houston Astros owner Ajaxx has a lump in his throat when talking about this travesty of justice.

Jose Arias
Jose "Air" Arias is another frequent flier. His latest stop is on the Red Sox D L list and will miss 2 weeks with a stress fracture. Will Air Arias rise to the occasion?? Playing for the Red Sox could be his best opportunity to reach great heights. 

Ed Locke
Ed "Walk" Locke gives up a ton of free passes. With 29 walks in 55 innings this season, He has done the Cubs a favor by going on the 60 day DL. There is no way Walk Locke belongs in the Bigs.  

Rogers Boucher
There is no doubt about Rogers "Big" Boucher and his hitting prowess. A broken finger will keep this very good hitting Virginian on the D L for 2 weeks. Sylemark will want to get Big Boucher back on the field for another World Series push.
