Well, we needed that off-day. I’m not speaking for the team; the fans certainly did though. The news of the day is that Octavio Dotel has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation, the 2nd time he has suffered this ailment (the first just landed him on the day-to-day list).

Octavio Dotel got "Valdespined" by a comebacker

In a bit of humorous news (humorous because there was no injury involved), Octavio Dotel got to feel the panic Jordany Valdespin felt when he saw a Justin Verlander fastball heading toward his…well…nether-region.  Dotel was pitching for the Tigers yesterday when a ball was hit back up the middle.  It clipped Dotel in the very same nether-region that Valdespin chose not protect...
