Seanez, Olympics

Rudy Seanez was activated from the Disabled List today. Seanez was on the DL due to an inflamed right shoulder. To make room for Seanez on the roster, infielder Mike Cervenak was optioned to Leigh High Valley.

The Phillies have an extra pitcher on the roster. I think the Phillies should of sent Wes Walrond down. Walrond has struggled with the Phillies so far. His ERA is 6.23 in 4.1 IP. His WHIP is a very high 2.77.

The Phillies pitching has been strong, and it is the offense that as been weak. Altough some arms need some more rest during this time, the Phillies need more offensive producers. Cervanek is only 1/7 this season, but the Phillies need offense badly.

In Olympic news, Phillies prospects Jason Donald and Lou Marson each went 1-3 against Canada. Both drew walks, and Marson scored a run. Jason Donald did make an error, however. USA beat Canada 5-4 yesterday.

Also, Michael Phelps won another gold medal. This time he won by .01 seconds to beat Serbia's Milord Cavic. Tonight, Phelps will go for his 8th gold medal. He will need help by his teammates, in the Men's 4 x 100m Butterfly.

Seanez to DL

Rudy Seanez was placed on the 15 day disabled list with a right shoulder injury. On Thursday against the Nationals, Seanez dove to tag out the Nationals' Lastings Milledge. He landed awkwardly, and Charlie Manuel noticed that he was breathing heavy. After surrendering a walk to the next batter, he was pulled.

Seanez stuggled in July. He had an ERA of 7.71. In 32.2 innings, Seanez is 4-3 with a 3.58 ERA. His WHIP is a high 1.62.

To replace Seanez on the roster, 31 year old Les Walrond will be called up from AAA. The lefty stuck out 17 batters on July 6 this year, in a complete game shut out.
