For the first time in his career, Jayson Werth was named NL Player of the Week. In the past week he hit .440 with a 1.160 slugging %, nine RBI, seven runs scored, and a .481 onbase %. He also seemed to be hitting a home run every other moment. Congrats, Jayson.
Brett Myers, hard on the rehab circuit, pitched a scoreless inning in for the Lakewood BlueClaws yesterday. Next stop: Reading? J.C. Romero meanwhile says that he will be back before the end of the season. Whoa! I had no idea that Romero, who has had a season that pretty much has not been, was that far away. Same I guess can be said for Clay Condrey, who is still rehabbing his injury. So when exactly does the bullpen again become whole and sole?
And what about 'dem Rockies? Now four up on the Giants in the wild card standings and just three behind the Dodgers. Things are getting interesting.
