Well, it's about time! (Just kidding! Hahaha...)
Actually, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of watching him hitting his little pop-ups to left field every other at-bat, and I'm tired of watching below average runners take an extra base on him because they know he can't throw a lick. This could be a blessing in disguise, either way, especially with Raffy Furcal expected back this weekend.
In any case, Pierre hurt his knee running the bases during yesterday's game, and limped off the field in obvious pain. An MRI today revealed a sprained MCL in his left knee. He is expected to mis anywhere from four to six weeks. (This might be the best news of all!)
Jason Repko will take his spot on the roster, probably until Andruw Jones is ready to come off the DL after the All-Star Game next week. In the meantime, Delwyn "Pee Wee" Young will get Pierre's playing time in left field for now, and then when Andruw comes back, the Dodgers can go with what should be their best outfield of Jones, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. Unfortunately, that will only last until Pierre comes back.
