Doug Creek:
Doug Creek may have bounced around the Major Leagues -- playing for seven teams in nine seasons -- but the pitching pro turned pro fisherman makes it clear where his anchor lies.
From Player To Fan, Creek Supports Rays
Al Reyes(Free Agent):
Right-hander Al Reyes was released by the New York Mets on Thursday without having thrown a pitch for their struggling bullpen.

Scott Rolen(Blue Jays):
No matter how slight the adjustments might appear on the surface, it took a lot for Scott Rolen to alter his stance. The Blue Jays third baseman had to get beyond his own stubbornness in order to change a style he'd used for the past 13 seasons.
Rolen Feeling More Comfortable At Plate
Jeff Suppan(Brewers):
A month ago, the Brewers had too much pitching and were struggling to find innings for relievers who were rusting on the bullpen bench.
Suppan Moved Up To Start Crucial Series
Jim Edmonds(Cubs):
The Cubs had a chance in the 11th with a runner at first and Seth McClung on the mound. Edmonds took a 1-1 pitch that appeared to be outside but was called a strike by home-plate umpire Ed Rapuano. Edmonds complained and was ejected, prompting an argument from Piniella.

Jack Wilson(Pirates):
SS Jack Wilson took batting practice for a second straight day Thursday and remains hopeful of pinch hitting in Sunday’s home season finale against Houston. That could be the final game in a Pirates’ uniform for Wilson, who has spent eight years with Pittsburgh but is likely to be traded over the winter as Pittsburgh continues its youth movement.
News & Notes
Michel Hernandez(Rays):
The Rays placed backup catcher Shawn Riggans on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday night, as the backstop is unlikely to return from the right knee surgery performed on Sept. 10.

Troy Percival(Rays):
Rays closer Troy Percival could very well take the hill on Thursday night, but it won't be in the ninth inning.
Rays Ease Percival Back In
J.D. Drew(RedSox):
There was no news to report on how J.D. Drew [stats]’s lengthy recovery from a herniated disc is going. Drew took part in batting practice Wednesday but stiffened up afterward, a frequent occurrence these past few weeks.
