How To Celebrate

The Dodgers had to put Catcher A.J. Ellis back on the 15-Day Disabled List when he sprained his ankle during the celebration following Josh Beckett's no-hitter. It was a game Ellis did not even play in. They had to bring Tim Federowicz (5 hits in 46 at bats before he was sent down) back up from Albuquerque and Drew Butera becomes the starter by default. Butera is leading the Dodgers Catchers with a .222 average and 2 Homeruns. Ellis was only batting .170 with 1 homerun and 12 RBI's at the time of his injury but his defense and his ability to call a game are indispensable. Celebrations over great games, great finishes, and championships are a part of baseball tradition and history but you shouldn't get hurt when you didn't even play in the game. Call it bad luck or a bad choice but this is A.J. Ellis's second stint on the DL this season.
