Doug Mientkiewicz Re-signs with the Dodgers

According to CBS, http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/transactions, the legendary Doug Mientkiewicz has signed a minor league contract with LA. It's hard to belive that this time last year Dougie's possible returm was the subject of so much speculation. It seems like progress that signing a guy like this no longer generates much interest. Eye chart got hurt in mid-April, and ended up only making 19 plate appearances for the year. Hopefully next season will be kinder to the scrappy veteran.

At least we got to see those 3 ABs he had at PNC last year. Strikeout vs Daniel McCutchen, strikeout vs. Jesse Chavez, weak popout vs. Zach Duke in the infamous 8 2/3 game.

Heh

I was at the Duke game (me and 2,000 other people, though someday 200,000 will claim to have been there), never heard it called that before though. Seems like it should be capitalized: The Infamous 8 2/3 Game., like Merkle’s Boner (Russell’s Boner? Nah, I don’t think I wanna go there) or the Pine-Tar Game.

By coincidence, I was in the muffler shop this afternoon leafing through some old ESPN The Magazines and there was a photo in one of them of the team celebratory pigpile after that game. Good times, good times.
