Ah.
Gamethread is up.
I STILL hate Freddy in the 2-spot.

I guess JR didn't spend the break
realizing that Freddy at the #2 spot (or anywhere in the top) isn’t really working.
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

I don't know why
but I have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I’m older than Xavier Nady. I’m 32, but he just seems like he should be older than me for some reason.
.500 or bust...

And you will get even
older, and the players will be younger and younger, and you will become an “auld fart” like some of us.

I dunno...
Most of them still look youthful, but Nady just looks like a grizzled vet to me. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s always got a wicked 5 o’clock shadow.

From the "News That Has Aboslutely Nothing To Do With The Pirates" Department
The Phillies grabbed Joe Blanton from the A’s today for 3 prospects, including left-hander Josh Outman from Class AA Reading, second baseman Adrian Cardenas and outfielder Matt Spencer from Class A Clearwater.
Cardenas was considered one of their best prospects in the system…
Blanton is a wild card, and I don’t know if it’s really that much of an improvement over Adam Eaton…

that Jimenez will dominate

LaRoche must be a vegetarian
because the ribeye was on the table, and he wasn’t bitin’...
Hope the All Star Break doesn’t throw him into another slump.

Wow
early 1-2-3… of course the Rockies and Pirates are pretty even in first inning offensive suckage, so not a huge surprise.

really sucky in first inning pitching suckage, though

Somewhat off topic
Heard an interview yesterday with Ernie Harwell—long time Tiger broadcaster.
He was asked who his favorite MLB broadcaster was. The first name out of his mouth was the ol’ Possum, Jim Woods. I was surprised, but the interviewer was more surprised. He had clearly never heard of him. Harwell had to explain he was a second mike guy, who he first knew from time together in Atlanta. Harwell’s second favorite was Bob Prince.
Back on topic: This has got to be Jiminez last IP.

Why is Nate Sr. on the bench?
Rivas pinch-hitting over him?
You can’t have last minute heroics if the game isn’t close.
