The trio in the booth can't seem to agree on how to pronounce Craig Monroe's last name. Is it MON-roe or mon-ROE? At least Steve Lyons is consistent.

So much for Toronto Blue Jay's 3B Scott Rolen only missing about the first week or so of the season. The injury is still a non-displaced fracture in the right middle finger, but the bone was broken enough to where surgery was required.
