Blake activated from DL stint for neck stiffness; Uribe to DL with groin strain. Related?

"Lower... lower..."

Amidst the flurry of activity leading up to tomorrow's trade deadline, the Dodgers have made a different kind of roster move: Casey Blake has been activated from the DL, with Juan Uribe replacing him there after trying- and failing- to play through a groin strain.

Sexual innuendo aside, I'm all for anything that gets Juan Uribe out of the lineup, and it's nice to see Blake again in what will almost certainly be his last season in Dodger blue.  While it'd be nice to pay lip service to the idea that this will hurt Uribe's chances to get picked up as a waiver claim in the next few weeks, well... that's not going to happen.  So enjoy having Casey Blake back on the field, for as long as his body will allow, and try to pretend for the next 15 or so days that we don't have Juan Uribe signed for the next two seasons.  Ugh.
