#2 Pitching injuries are piling up for the Chciago Cubs as left hander Hoby Milner suffered major stomach pain in the middle of the night Saturday morning according to Cubs manager Craig Counsell and had to be ubered to the hospital for appendicitis surgery. Milner was placed on the 15 day IL and replaced by right hand pitcher Tyler Ferguson who was called up from Triple A Iowa.
#3 Former Chciago White Sox Ron Kittle got married to his girlfirend Barbara at Guarantee Rate Field during a ten run third inning against the Kansas City Royals in an eventual 22-1 win. Kittle’s wedding was officiated by White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf in Reinsdorf suite. Former White Sox Harold Baines and his wife and Greg Walker and his wife were also there for the wedding. Also attending the wedding was former White Sox manager Tony LaRussa, and former players Richard Dotson and Greg Luzinski.
#4 The Los Angeles Angels who most likely will be playing in their 11th consecutive losing season ended up firing their general manager Perry Minasian Friday night before their game against the Sacramento A’s which they ended up losing at the Big A 9-3. Minasian was in the sixth year of his final year of his contract with the Halos. The Angels have announced that executive John Mozeliak who was the St Louis Cardinals former GM will be brought in to help search for a new general manager.
#5 Former San Francisco Giants and current Atlanta Braves outfielder Mike Yastrzemski was honored by the Giants during the game at Oracle Park in San Francisco with a scoreboard tribute showing his highlights during his Giants days. Yastrzemski was traded last season to the Kanas City Royals from the Giants, at the same time with pitcher Tyler Rogers who went to the Toronto Blue Jays and pitcher Camilo Doval to the New York Yankees. Charlie did you find that trade at this time last season took the soul out of the Giants and they’ve never really recovered since?
