Pittsburgh @ Colorado
Zach Duke vs. Aaron Cook, 12:05 PM. Here's an interesting matchup, because Cook represents a sort of best-case scenario for Duke's career.

Freddy finally seems to get something going...
maybe… so JR gives him an off day.

ESPN News says
Yankess interested in Nady or Bay. Names being mentioned in return include Ian Kennedy, Jose Tabata and Austin Jackson.

Not sure
Kennedy was expected to be in the MLB rotation, but failed. He has done well at Scranton since being sent back. Tabata looks like he is having a bad year at Trenton and Jackson just an ordinary season at AA.

Sickels
Rates Kennedy and Tabata as B+ and Jackson as B-. Kennedy and Tabata were the #2 and #3 propspects in the system behind Chamberlain going into 2008. Jackson was #5.

In my dreams, I keep hearing...
“Nice one stupid. You live in Utah and could’ve picked any single team to root for… and you pick the one team that doesn’t seem to give a sh** about winning.”
Okay, not really… I don’t remember dreams long enough to know what I hear in my dreams.

Why didn't I just turn the game off after the top of the first?
You know it can only get worse for us after that.

and then made the mistake of coming back after the 4th.

goodness
is it just me, or do all of our pitchers just fall apart in the 4th-5th innning.
that’s if they aren’t apart to begin with.

Are the Pirates
in THAT much of a hurry to get to Houston?? How about making the pitcher work a little?

Why is he still in?

I remember
When the Pirates didn’t suck. It was 1992, I was 19 and Clinton was president.

At the end of the '92 season, I was 6
I didn’t start paying attention to baseball (at all) until like 10 years later, when the Diamondbacks won it all.

I got to see the Pirates on opening day
a couple years back.
I was on campus in between classes, and the game (vs. Cincinnati???) was on ESPN.
The team lost.
The first (and only) time I’ve seen the Pirates on TV.

Wreck specs
Decides he will pitch scoreless innings when we are behind by fifty. Nice.
by Hitman Easler on Jul 20, 2008 4:59 PM EDT 0 recs
I'd like to help
but if I went and pitched, we’d give up 20 runs in the first inning before JR decided to pull me.
And if I was manager, the “starters” would never win because they’d only pitch 3 innings (max), pissing them all off to the point of revolt, leaving the team with no pitchers.

On the plus side, if we're going for at least 6 runs in the 9th
the good part of the line-up (is that possible?) is up…
Eye Chart, McLouth, Jason-ity, X-Man, Black Hole, Chavez… you’d have to imagine Doumit or Nate Sr. would bat there…

Optimism for me at the beginning of the season
is a World Series win.
After the first series, it’s finishing at 81 (or 82) wins.
After the first week, it’s avoiding the MLB cellar.
Yeah… exponential decline.
