Todd Jones’ shoulder could place him on D.L.
...as soon as he’s done with the Huge Blow-Up-Sale with the Shoppach home-run network!
Shoppach ‘shows up’ Jones
Shoppach flipped his bat several feet in the air as he headed to first base on his home run off Jones. The bat flip is widely regarded in baseball as a clear sign of “showing up” - i.e., deliberately embarrassing - the other team.
Jones took a few steps toward Shoppach and yelled at him as Shoppach headed to first on his home-run trot after the bat flip.
“I didn’t like it,” Jones said. “I didn’t think it was very professional.”

Bad shoulder? Ummmm, OK, works for me ...
This game was epic. CLE blew and 8-1 lead, tied it up again on a Shoppach HR in the 9th, loaded the bases in the 10th, 11th, and 12th and were unable to score. Granderson had 5 hits, 3 off lefties. Casey Fossum (!) pitched out of the aforementioned bases loaded, 0 out jam and got the win. Cabrera was awesome. I'm glad I live on the West Coast.
That was some game. I left in the top of the 8th with the Indians up 11-7 and by the time I got to my car it was tied. Nice job, Edward Mujica. By the way, what the heck happened to Nate Robertson this year?
I haven't noticed any real difference, just he's been more hittable. The one game of his I attended, he threw a nine-inning gem. Of course, it WAS the M's Sunday lineup...
