please farm May and call up Vukovich and insert him in may's slot in the rotation

[catcher24]

FYI, George Brett is back up to .390... and with his usage issues and a comfortable lead in the Wild Card standings, there is a chance I will farm him soon after September call-ups. Ted Williams watch?

In the CKL, better make that a Tony Oliva watch.

[leecemark]

--the Robinson races get a little tighter. 6 of 8 teams still very much alive as we head towards September.

[leecemark]

--Next series will take us up to the deadline for playoff eligibility. If you're in the hunt make sure you get the 25 you want for the playoffs up before the next series. Tommorrow will be another off day to accomodate that.
