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.

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.

My girlfriend has turned me into a Flyers fan, so I’ve been WAY into the playoffs this year. Hence I’m only half paying attention to the Tribe game right now.
