De Bacle Moves Quickly, Decisively

Scottsdale, AZ: Dick De Bacle, new skipper of the Choppers and the D-Hacks, made two decisive roster moves today. First, De Bacle benched slumping Albert Pujols after Pujols went 1-5 including a game-ending double play in StL's 6-5 lost to CIN. Derrick Lee, who's have another fine day in CHC's doubleheader with SD, has taken Pujol's spot in the order. "Something ain't right," De Bacle said.

In another stunning move, The D-Hacks benched struggling Mike Piazza, who's hitting a paltry .150 (Met fans can't be happy) in favor of Mike Metheny and his .366 average. Metheny, off to a dandy start since signing with the Los Gigantes, was picked up on waivers. Austin Kearns of CIN, another lukewarm starter, was waived.

Enough is friggin' enough," De Bacle declared.
