Chris Snelling has left today's baseball contest with the Royals with an injured knee. We knew this was going to happen, right? An injury-prone player acquired by the A's, doing a pretty decent job at the plate ... he was bound to get hurt.

And Jack Cust is making his second appearance in the field today. He also hit his second homer of the year. How many dingers did Piazza have? You know what I'm for? I'm for Piazza catching when he comes back and Kendall being cut.
