Is Gonzalez hurt?
After sitting with manager Dave Trembley for about ten minutes... the manager informed the media his closer was NOT available last night against the Rays. Apparently Trembley called down to the bullpen and was told the struggling Gonzalez was not available because he was feeling a little something and could not get loose. Trembley said this morning there were a couple of times he would have loved to use him. Instead, he went with Johnson, Ohman, Meredith and Albers ... and the team suffered an 8-6 loss when it was looking as if they were crusing to a 3-0 victory.
I will have more on Gonzalez from the clubhouse after today's Rays game so tune in to Dave and Tom after the last pitch.
