Poor location

Here's the quote (well, paraphrase) of the day from Ken Macha:

The White Sox hit five homers at Tucson Electric Park, two off Chad Gaudin, two off Mac Suzuki and one off Ron Flores. Macha blamed poor pitch location.
Source. Gee, Ken. Poor location? Are you sure it's not just poor pitchers? Ron Flores is the guy who's going to be responsible for keeping Antonio Perez or Keith Ginter in the minors? Ugh.

Ethier hurt

Over at Dodger Thoughts, I see the news that Andre Ethier is hurt already. He apparently jammed his should diving in the first inning. How much does that suck for Ethier? He gets traded for two major leaguers, shows up ready to prove himself, and gets hurt before the WBC has even ended?
