Anibal has NOT been called up. Rotoworld was just speculating that those 3 were possible callups, only Hansen and Hanley have actually been given the promotion.
Yeah he was originally supposed to be in the lineup, but he was a late scratch, which may mean that the injury is worse than anticipated, but he put on a hell of an AB against Rivera yesterday.
It's been brought to my attention that there have been several threads bashing Tito, and they've been cluttering a little bit so if you disagree with Tito just put your thoughts in here. If there were any threads I missed don't be afraid to point it out.
I watched some of the Jets game today, and their offense was putrid. Everyone was touting them as a possible threat for the Pats, so far it look like they were terribly wrong.

Back issue so they're just giving him a day to get things cleared up.
But some of the runs he gave up could have been prevented too. If Manny hustles to the ball hit by Uribe he may have prevented Blum from going home or possibly could have even caught the ball and changed the whole complexion of the 2 run 5th inning. The fastball velocity was good, the splitter is getting better as he wasn't leaving as many balls up in the zone as he previously had. He still needs to work on lowering that number however.
Only a major choke would prevent Blake from winning this one, Blake is playing so much better than Nadal today. I guess the hardcourt really isn't Nadal's specialty.
