As I was walking through a service tunnel at Busch Stadium on my way from the vistiting clubhouse to the elevator leading up to the press box a few minutes ago, I passed a ballpark employee who was holding a cardboard box and talking into a walkie-talkie. This is what he said:
“Hey Joe, we got that owl out of your office. I think he’s OK. They got him in a cage now.”
The things you hear in a ballpark service tunnel.
Anyway, Scott Proctor’s rehab assignment has been shut down because he experienced more soreness in his right elbow. Did OK playing catch, but coudn’t throw off a mound. He’s down for at least seven days, after which he will be re-evaluated.
Sky has turned totally gray in the past hour. Very good chance of a rain delay tonight. Dodgers were going to have early BP today but they canceled it due to the heat.
