Ex-Cardinals Watch 7-27-08: Suppan & Ponson Roughed Up, Sweeney Returns, Young Not Doing Well, Tigers Back Off Wilson

Jeff Suppan(Brewers):
The Milwaukee Brewers already tried a "Take Back Miller Park" campaign a couple seasons ago, aimed at moments when the Chicago Cubs come to town. For perhaps the biggest four games of the year to date, they'll need to adopt a "Take Back First Place" concept as well.

Mark Sweeney(Dodgers):
The Dodgers activated pinch-hitter Mark Sweeney from the disabled list prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals and optioned infielder Andy LaRoche to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Dmitri Young(Nationals):
Nationals first baseman Dmitri Young is still having problems controlling his diabetes and will remain in Washington, D.C., for the time being.

Jack Wilson(Pirates):
Cross Detroit off the list of potential suitors for shortstop Jack Wilson. Three sources yesterday confirmed the Tigers have not asked about Wilson since last winter. The Los Angeles Dodgers remain chief among the interested.
Buried Treasure

Troy Percival(Rays):
Rays manager Joe Maddon has no doubts that Troy Percival is still the team's closer, a role for which he will be available on Sunday despite making appearances in the past two games.
Maddon Steadfastly Behind Percival

Sidney Ponson(Yankees):
In the overall picture, the Yankees accomplished their goal of coming into Fenway Park and taking two out of three from the Red Sox. Yet they couldn't help but feel as though there had been a missed opportunity on Sunday.
Ponson Can't Extend Yanks' Win Streak
