Pirates vs. Nationals, 3 May 2008
Pittsburgh Pirates @ Washington Nationals
Paul Maholm vs. Matt Chico, 1:05 PM. Here's the box.
Jonah Keri has a new article at ESPN.com about "the failure dynasties." Amazingly, the Pirates aren't the first team on the list, and Keri predicts them to have a winning season in 2010. That looks optimistic to me, if anything, but I'll take it.

I think
he just listed the teams in alphabetical order.
Also, I couldn’t help noticing the three sponsored links at the bottom of that story, geared I suppose to the average Pirates fan, are for Pirates ringtones, Pirates tickets and medical hair restoration. I could draw some conclusions from that but I think it speaks for itself.

The Nats announcers are clueless. They keep calling Paul Malholm “Pat.” They’ve been screwing stuff up since the first game of this series.

He’s already stranded five batters. Is there any way the Pirates can get Mike Gonzalez back? BTW, Bucs 12-17 not 11-17 as I suggested.

Jose K is, and always will be, ONLY Jose Hernandez. I’m not even just saying that because he’s hot.
