Only links

Chronicling a very bad baseball team in their quest to not lose 100 games doesn't really lend itself to lots of original material by the end of the fifth month of the season, and for that I apologize. Still, I find myself with some links to share, for everyone that hasn't seen them yet.

First up, Ryan Doumit (not Mike Edwards!) will fill Jose K's spot on the 25-man roster. He had been hitting very poorly in his rehab stint both in Bradenton and Altoona but since he's killed minor league pitching in the past, I don't really think that's much of a concern for the team. He played a bunch of positions (catcher, first base, outfield, DH) and managed not to hurt himself, and I think that's pretty much all we can ask for. He would've been up on September 1st anyways.

The Bucs Dugout helps us catch up with an old friend, Raul Mondesi. Apparently good old Raul committed some kind of "electrical fraud" back in July and was elected to the Dominican House of Representatives for a term starting on August 16th. I have no idea what the rest of the article says, but it's very entertaining (it's translated from Spanish by Google language tools and makes no sense at all).
