The Dodgers plan to move Nomar Garciaparra back to shortstop, giving them another option as they learned that injured incumbent Rafael Furcal was expected to sit out at least another three weeks. Manager Joe Torre said he hoped Garciaparra could begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment within the next week. "The only thing I told him was, with the news with Raffy, go play shortstop," Torre said. Garciaparra, a six-time All-Star including five times as a shortstop, has not played the position in three years.

It'll be interesting to see how he hurts himself there.

None news.

He can't stay healty playing first once a month. Moses Alou is more durable then Nomar.

Ralphus? I knew a cat names Rastus once. He was lazy and incorrigible. But he could squaw dance like a sunofagun!

Nomar was placed on the 60-day DL after tearing a eustachean tube. Apparently Joe Torre told him the news in a somewhat loud voice.

Lusic:

As the catastrophic handlings of the Black Hand have shown us, Eastern Europeans are not equipped to manage themselves or their quaint terrorist organizations. So, TRUTH will not vote of you as President.

I saw him and Mia in a commercial, didn't he retire?

He didn't retire, he just adopted the Mark Prior DL Plan....
