PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates, May 20, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Manny Parra and Paul Maholm, 7:05 PM.
For something to do while you wait for this one to start, you can check out my answers to Jeff Sackmann's questions about the Pirates over at Brew Crew Ball.

At the Hardball Times declares Aramis Ramirez (2003) the worst cleanup hitter since 1957. There’s a good Dick Stuart story in the same article.
we at least played well
against one of the better teams in the NL. Here’s hopping we can get a series win against the scuffling Brewers.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
STAT OF THE NIGHT
Paul Maholm in 4 starts at PNC
2-0 2.05 ERA .198 Opp BA
Well so much for that
Maholm’s getting hit around like a human pinana!
alright Maholm
2 hits and the Prince DP….not bad

UGH!
Bautista batting 2nd…...hurry back Jack Flash
hahahaha
Sanchez after catching Bautista’s ball thought the inning ended which in turn caused the Brew Crew to score a run.
I bet the Pirates can’t wait to send Bixler back to the minors.

or DFA Rivas
still I think Bix should be sent down
I’d love to be rid of both of them, myself.

I mean, I’m glad he just singled and all. :)
by Charlie Wilmoth on May 20, 2008 7:58 PM EDT up reply actions
still batting a fine .182 though
with 6 errors…...not getting it done…..knew from the beg. he wasn’t ready and it shows
Maholm is pitching like crap tonight
Thank goodness for the early DPs
Have I missed much?
I see us down 2-0.
Is the offense playing in a way that they could make it up?
Or is it game, set & match?

As long as the Brew Crew bullpen stinks
we still have a chance. Got 4 innings to do it.
Yeah, I mean what is it about the second position in the lineup that so often makes managers think you can’t put good hitters there?

See a good 2nd batter would've moved Freddy to 3rd
Then score on that WP there
we're making parra work
but can’t quite seem to get any big hits. hopefully we start this inning

McLouth swinging at Ball Four
We just don’t deserve to win tonight
That's alright
hopefully we will see a another 1-4 night with a late-inning homerun from Nate…seems like that happens a lot (it probably happened once or twice and I just remember it well)
before tonight
it was .188 (6-32)...although he did have 11 walks.
I bet
we lose by that one run that Freddy let score. I’ve been watching the Phillies game, too… 0-0 in the top of the 8th… Hamels is fun to watch.
.500 or bust...
Another case of a starting P staying too long
Maholm gives up homer to Cameron!
We’re done! Home crowd not into this one.
johnnycuff posted something
in the Coming Up post about how the cameron signing was a huge mistake.
Well… he’s 3-3 with a BB & a HR (2 RBI, 1 run scored) so far today.
It’s like Soriano in the last series with the Cubs… except he’s not as good.

The Pirates just don't look interested tonight

And we were just 1 game away
from being 1 game away from .500 again.
The Utah Jazz

It is?
We’ve been getting to that point repeatedly, and then losing.
Maybe they’ll do it differently this time… fall 3 below .500, and then win 2 straight to get back within a game of .500.

this is a miserable game to watch

Hey Pirates...
The offense called, you accidentally left it in the airport in St. Louis…
.500 or bust...
How many damn black holes can one team have?
LaRoche? Bautista? Paulino? Bixler? How have we won 21 games?
Now...
6 runs in 1 inning to tie.
7 runs in 1 inning to win.
The Utah Jazz
A disillusioned Pirates fan in Utah...
I've seen the future, and this is what I saw...
Bixler-1st pitch pop-up out
Minky pinch hitting-single
Sanchez hit into double-play
.500 or bust...
Got it wrong...
2 K’s and a pinch-hit ground out
The Utah Jazz
A disillusioned Pirates fan in Utah...
you were too optimistic
fred and bix K’s and a quick out from rivas

It is entirely possible that I don't have a clue what I am talking about,
but it looks to me like Gagne’s hand pauses next to his ear and kind of shows what type of pitch he might be throwing. I don’t think he hides the ball very well at all, and I am sure that hitter can pick it up very early, if not tell when he is going to throw a breaking ball before he even releases it.
2 out, 5 runs down.
Black Hole, Paulino, Bixler, pitchers spot & Freddy all have to score to tie it up.

I mean...
Black Hole, Black Hole, one-pitch out, pinch hitter & Freddy.

both black holes reach!

Bixler
should be honored that they are actually bringing out a new pitcher just for him!
.500 or bust...
HOLY COW
Gagne’s is supposedly hurt (i think its just an excuse for warmups cause he’s awful) so the brews are bringing in Torres!!! I still like our chances
