WILSON PLACED ON 60-DAY DL
Mariners catcher Dan Wilson has been placed on the 60-day disabled list with a torn ACL in his right knee suffered on Wednesday afternoon against the Angels.
Wiki Gonzalez has been called up from Triple-A Tacoma to take Wilson's spot on the roster. I never thought I would say this, but I would rather have Willie Bloomquist behind the plate than Wiki Gonzalez. Bloomquist is the emergency catcher, FYI.
Gonzalez is a lazy bum dating back to his days in the San Diego Padres organization. The label hasn't escaped him since. However, Gonzalez coming up to the big club does make sense, considering that he would fit right in with this ballclub, who have lost 5 in a row dating back to last Saturday in Oakland. The Mariners are not playing hard right now. So it makes perfect sense to bring up one of the laziest players in all of baseball. Why the hell not?
I'm not looking forward to the Wiki-Z-Boy Era.
