Carrasco
Russell
Linebrink
Jenks
Dotel
Floyd
Buehrle
Vazquez
Danks

Position players on the bench

GS can play 2 - 5 in the infield.

We’re covered.

Pitching and defense win baseball games in September and October.

In mostly unrelated news

Pablo Ozuna made the Dodgers playoff roster. Just saw him in the dugout dancing with Manny after Manny’s HR.

I don't think you need to be on the playoff roster to be in the dugout

I don’t think BA was on the roster in 05 when they clinched in Houston, but he was certainly in the dugout (and on the field afterward).

I think Anderson was the first one out

when they clinched in ’05. But I checked the internets before reporting, and he is indeed on their roster.

I was searching to find out if BA was on the 05 WS roster

and according to the 2005 WS Wikipedia page, which we all know is clearly the truth written in stone, BA isn’t on it.

I do find it odd that there are 26 players listed on that roster with Frank Thomas being one of them.

And you are correct, as you pointed out, that Ozuna is on the Dodger’s postseason roster. Hooray Ozuna! Hooray Joe Torre!

cowley told us

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Santo on oxygen since slam.

Santo can't seem to make it into the HOF

he’s always just a little short.

Ron used to play a good 3rd base.

Now he makes a good 3rd base.

A reefer?

The last thing he wants is to go on a drunken tequila binge and wake up in his hotel room on Sunday draped in hookers and clutching a reefer the size of a corncob.

...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
