And there it is. Dontrelle Willis is now functionally disabled, according to the list he was just put on. This means that Brandon Inge will likely move to the rotation, or failing that, Armando Galarraga.

We’re still not sure what happened to Willis in Friday’s game (or how the shit Aquilino Lopez and Jason Grilli combined for seven innings of one-run relief), but I suspect his carefully-aligned crooked cap took a straightening for the worse, throwing out his entire balance. Either way, his hyperextended knee will put him out for a while.◼ DTW → DFP

    So I’m watching some Olympic water polo match online (yes, I know) and it’s halftime. The song they picked? Why, the instrumental version of “Cotton-Eye Joe.” Not sure what’s more shocking. That they’re playing the instrumental version of “Cotton-Eye Joe,” or that someone made an instrumental version of “Cotton-Eye Joe.” Is this how all water polo matches go? ◼ NBCOlympics.com
