The Injury update menu on the left margin of the main page says Travis Hafner is “excused”. Is that for real or a joke? I haven’t read anything that says he’s been placed on the DL. What’s going on here?

Interesting Game
This is going to be an interesting game for the Tribe. I hope they can pull it out. Seattle just designated Wilkerson and Norton so they could bring up Balentien and Clement – their two young studs. Balentien will start in right for Seattle from now on and expect Clement to go in for Vidro if Vidro falters. Let’s go Tribe!

Hmm. The Seattle lineup has Ichiro playing CF; no one in right. For God’s sake, hit the ball to right!
I missed the memo about Hafner. No one is in here; looks like I missed the memo about the Gamethread boycott too.

I’m here lurking. I’m “watching” on gamecast from a hotel in Nowheresville, Canada.

Fixed, good catch. The automatic lineup thing is confused by Balentien, who was called up just a few hours ago, so I was fixing it on the fly.

No DL announcement. I assume there won’t be any, since he’s been playing like he’s hurt for a year now and everyone keeps saying this isn’t the problem. Just a night off.

Shapiro and four security guards escorted Hafner to the parking lot and told him not to come back until they called for him.

he’s in a horrible, horrible (HORRIBLE) offensive slump so he’s getting a break to clear his head?

Scoop?
Like, they had a big, teary intervention last night and he’s going into rehab?
Fixing his vision? Or left arm paralysis?
Something like that?

The sidebar on this very site lists him as disabled. I’m just wondering if it’s official, that he’s off to the desert to find his spirit animal.

Cliff’s perfect game ends just a bit early in the first.

Yup. No-hitter is a wash, too.

Nice start, Cliff. I don’t suppose asking for eight more is too much?

let’s kill Washburn.
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.
