Now that Dan Gilbert is done toasting LeBron, the Raptors' Bryan Colangelo has tagged up and provided some frank commentary on Chris Bosh.

It remains to be seen whether Gilbert will re-tag and start in on Ilgauskas.

Journeyman starter Miguel Batista replaced Stephen Strasburg yesterday after he couldn't make a scheduled start due to arm inflammation. Batista received scattered boos, but said afterwards that he understood: "Imagine if you go there to see Miss Universe -- and you end up having Miss Iowa"

Journeyman starter Miguel Batista replaced Stephen Strasburg yesterday after he couldn't make a scheduled start due to arm inflammation.

Yesterday, during my evening commute, the Metro was ridiculously packed. As soon as I saw the Strasburg scratch, I knew there were going to be a lot of disappointed people. Fortunately they got to see a win anyway.

A flaky pitcher, but Batista has always been eloquent and a great interview.

I hope no one needed to use the crapper. In that town. For a week.

"Imagine if you go there to see Miss Universe -- and you end up having Miss Iowa"

Guess he won't be playing in Iowa any time soon.
