New Orleans Knights

Record: Last 2 Weeks (3-7), Overall 11-23

2-Week Synopsis: Split 2 at Wichita, Lost 2 of 3 vs Arizona, Lost both vs Los Angeles, Swept in 3 at Alabama

Leaders:
Avg – Sam Thompson .366
HRs – Ross Barnes/Sam Thompson 5
RBIs – Sam Thompson 24

Wins - Doc McJames 5
ERA - Doc McJames 1.94
Ks – Doc McJames 66

Top Performance: Doc McJames threw a 3-hit shutout, striking out 7 and walking 1 in a 4-0 win at Wichita.>>[/B]
Injuries: Topsy Hartsel has seen his season go into a nosedive since earning Player of the Week honors April 20. After a vicious cold spell, Hartsel has now been shelved with a torn ligament in his thumb suffered diving for a ball against Los Angeles May 11. He’s expected to miss 2 months.

Round Trip (Four miscellaneous points about the team):
1) The termination of Tony LaRussa was met with a mixed reaction in the clubhouse. While some were critical of LaRussa’s micromanagement, he was generally perceived as a good guy who took the fall for the players’ failure to execute.

2) Ross Barnes was named Southern League Player of the Week today, batting .526 with 2 homers and 6 RBI last week.

3) The injury to Topsy Hartsel has opened up some more ABs for B.J. Upton and Eric Hinske, who both have struggled in limited action so far. Upton has hit only .097 in 31 Abs, while Hinske is batting .227.

4) Mark Prior has not made a start since losing his fourth straight on May 9. He remains 1-6 with a 7.08 ERA.>>
