Per Yahoo Sports' Team Report: "--RHP Lance Lynn might be pitching for his spot in the rotation Wednesday night. Lynn hasn't won since Aug. 4 in Cincinnati and is 0-5 over his last six starts. He lost Thursday night in Cincinnati when he allowed three solo homers in five innings. Manager Mike Matheny opted to give Lynn another start despite the wishes of general manager John Mozeliak."
Hmm... might Lynn be pitching for more than just his spot?
In other news, Goold reports the Mariners have traded Brendan Ryan to the Yankees.

Per Chad, they picked up on a way in which Lynn was tipping his breaking stuff. They're hopeful he'll be better.

It might not be a bad thing to put Lynn on notice, but if he falters tonight, who gets his next start? Westbrook? Lyons?

Hard to believe a guy with a .520 OPS passed through waivers.

Sorry, don.rob, for missing that you already posted the Ryan trade last night, but when I logged in there were no new posts indicated. So it's AP's fault

I still disappointed there won't be a Brendan Ryan return to Busch Stadium day. I bet Chris Carpenter is disappointed too.

It's probably more of an acknowledgement that Jeter won't be back this season. The Yankees didn't have anyone other than Nunez who can even stand at shortstop.

Per Langosch, Cardinals gave away 15,000 complimentary tickets to members of the military and first responders in honor of 9/11.

Nice gesture.

I know that wasn't Cuzzi's call, but he still sucks.
Offline
That's right, Guccione. Fuck up the call and then start giving shit to the guy who hit the ball.
Offline
Lynn has to pitch well for the next couple of innings until the Cardinals get over the notion they've been fucked in the ass.

Was out cutting the grass. What was the blown call? How has Lynn looked?

Horton just said the Cardinals don't have a hit yet. They have a hit. It was called a foul ball.

Adams hit a line drive that hit the yellow line on the right field wall. Aoki played it like it was a fair ball. Beltran ran to third like it was a fair ball. The only person in the park who thought it was a foul ball was the guy who had to make the call.

Oh and Lynn has looked better. Not great. But better. He's still falling behind in the count too often, but he's scattering the hits so far.

since it is injury related if the yankees did make the playoff would ryan be able to play? I have no clue if the yankees can even make the playoffs.

Bo Hart with another big hit.

The Yankees are among about three dozen teams that have a shot at one of the AL wild card spots. I have no idea whether Ryan can play in the post-season. I recall someone saying anyone who is in the organization as of Sept. 1 is eligible, but I don't remember who said it.
