  1. Pirates done in the 8th. 6-2 Bucs heading into the ninth.
  2. Definitely Jay Bruce. Thanks.
  3. Pretty hard to get out of your slump, when you havent started in 4 days. Hes a young kid, and is going to have slumps like this, but that doesnt mean he should be relagated to Lous coffee getter. In Lou's defense, the same mentality that's keeping Pie out of the lineup are also keeping Jock and Iz-sucksatbaseball-is out of the lineup. Not really. The mentality that keeps Izturis and Jones on the bench is they are proven failure who offer nothing to the team now or in the future. While Pie is a kid who may have a future if he works through struggles. Lou is trying to help Pie work through his struggles, only not in games. He's got him working on a "toe tap" move in the cage and in batting practice to keep him from "twisting" too much. Identifying and attempting to solve problems are things that weren't done here with young players the last few years. Well thats good to hear that Lou is working with him, and not just letting him try work through it on his own. When you say "toe tap" are you meaning Sosa style or different? Something similar. It was hard to follow Lou's dance step when he was demonstrating it in the dugout. DeRosa credits a toe tap for improving his hitting last season. Is it something similar to that?
  4. Weeks pops up. Mid of 8, 6-2 Pirates.
  5. Bautista K's looking. 11 LOB for the Pirates. 3-2, Bucs after five. I'm out for an inning or two.
  6. Yeah...and lucky for them, the Pirates fail to get the big hit to put them away. 9 LOB and counting for the Pirates.
  7. Davis flies out to right as Hart falls over the rail to make the catch.
  8. Four errors for the Brew Crew today.
  9. Youmans attempts a sac bunt. Ball goes right back to the mound, but Gallardo throws high to second into CF, and everyone is safe.
  10. Wilson drops a single into shallow CF.
  11. Paulina hits a sacrifice fly to right. Nady scores. 3-2 Pirates. Close play at the plate, but Nady barely beats the tag.
  12. Nady ends up at third as Hall misplays a ball hit off the wall in CF. On a side note, Pirates have left nine men on base.
  13. So, who should I watch for if I go watch them play the Braves tomorrow or later this week?
  14. Mench grounds out to retire the side. 2-2, mid five.
  15. Estrada gets a 2-out single.
  16. 2 quick outs for the Brewers in the fifth.
  17. Bay strikes out to end the threat. End of 4, 2-2.
  18. Bay is looking horrible at the plate.
  19. LaRoche walks and the bases are loaded again. Come on Bay. Quit sucking.
  20. Sanchez flies out. 2 down.
  21. My run in the tourney looks to be nearing an end.
  22. Bautista singles in the tying run. 2-2.
  23. Davis walks. Runners on 1st and 2nd with one out. Capuano at 80 pitches already.
  24. Youman sacrifices Wilson to second. One out.
