No lineup yet.

Josh Fogg went 5.1 innings last night for the Sarasota Reds, allowed two runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Both runs scored after he left the game. His next scheduled start would be Saturday. I don't think it'll be at Ft. Myers.

The Pioneer rookie league Billings Mustangs begin their 2008 season tonight, and because of the contruction to their new Dehler Park, Billings will open the season with 14 straight road games. The Gulf Coast League Reds will start their season Thursday.

* UPDATE: Now I'm having trouble deciding between themes -- either "Griffey night sans Griffey" or "Patterson, Pierre leadoff in same game, SABR members commit mass suicide (and can you blame them?)"

For the record, Griffey is ill. And, well, to paraphrase Dennis Green, "Corey Patterson is who we thought he was."

* No decision on Saturday's starter yet, Baker said. Homer Bailey is here and taking batting pracitce with the starters.

"I don't know," Baker said. "Talk to Walt."

* Baker said he'd probably use a combination of Griffey, Dunn and Valentin as the DH in New York, Toronto and Cleveland.

* Just got an e-mail from Sports Illustrated. There's going to be a Jay Bruce article in this week's issue. I'm gonna read it now.

Finished it, nice read. Nothing too new -- and really, I think there should be a retiring of the Jay Bruce calls the Kingdome story -- but a good gag I hadn't noticed from spring when Dunn had Bruce sign baseballs for Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, he did and then Dunn was with the two and pointing at Bruce laughing. Thing is, I bet Dunn did tell them to keep 'em.

* If you weren't listening to Marc Amazon on 1530 Homer, you missed an interesting interview with Walt Jocketty.

First off, Jocketty said they'd make a decision on Homer and the rotation "in the next day."

But more than that what I thought was interesting was Marc asked him about "untouchables" with th team and Jocketty listed five: Jay Bruce, Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, Joey Votto and Edwin Encarnacion.

I was surprised by Encarnacion, but vey interesting.

* A total aside but if you weren't watching the LSU-Rice game, you missed out on an incredible ending. The Tigers got a walk-off bases-clearing double in the bottom of the ninth to win it. Dude just missed a grand slam. Crazy. LSU has some crazy karma on its side.

* A day game for Louisville and the Bats roughed up former Red Danny Graves -- 2 IP, 8 H, 9 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 2 HR. Thing is, Bats starter Justin Mallett wasn't any better. 1.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 4 BB, 2 Ks, 1 HR. Still, the Bats won 10-9.

Jeff Keppinger, DHing, had one of the homers off Graves. He finished 2-for-5. Norris Hopper doubled to lead off the game.

Also looking at the boxscore, Graves isn't the only former Red with the Red Wings -- Ryan Jorgensen doubled off Matt Belisle, who pitched 2.1 and got the win.

* Hiroki Kuroda will not start Wednesday against the Reds. Kuroda was sent back to L.A. because of "shoulder discomfort" -- Derek Low will move up a day to face the Reds tomorrow night and Clayton Kershaw Eric Stotlz will start Thursday afternoon.
