PrintPittsburgh Pirates at Colorado Rockies, Jul 20, 2008 3:05 PM EDT
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.

Small sample sizes, but...
as stated above, Jack is 1-7 against Cook.
X-Man is 3-12.
Freddy is 3-6.

ESPN News says
Yankess interested in Nady or Bay. Names being mentioned in return include Ian Kennedy, Jose Tabata and Austin Jackson.
Aren't those like

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.
Well theres some offense

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.
I left after the top of the 1st...
and then made the mistake of coming back after the 4th.

Mr. Duke...
please lose the rocket launcher ASAP.
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?
Um... Duke was done 2 innings ago.
Why is he still in?

This series should
end any discussion whether this team needs to be blown up.
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.

I remember

Never could I have imagined such futility from my beloved Bucs.
This really sucks.
That's like
the 2nd straight game with that.

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.

resembling a major league pitcher.
Obviously not a Pittsburgh Pirate.

Over.
We have to get through 8 batters to tie, so that’s at least 8 pitches.
And then at least 3 more for the 3 outs, so that’s 11.
11 > 10, so over.
Eh.
We’re the Pirates.
Over simply because they’re not going to take the bat off their shoulder often enough.
And because Eye Chart is awesome.

Marte
threw 6 sliders. Everything else was a fastball.
Of the 6 sliders… 4 were balls, 1 was a called strike, and the other went for a 2-RBI double.
Not that it matters. I just got bored…
Have to ask though… does he have any other pitches?

Okay.
Was just wondering.
I’ve never paid attention to that stuff, but I thought every pitcher had at least 3 pitches (at least, that’s what I got from all the video games I played).

Most do
Some relievers can get by with 2 if 1 is dominating. Rivera for the Yankees has lived off that cutter for years.

This Morillo guy.
5 career appearances.

Padres fire sale about to start too
Cards sweep Padres on a walk off grand slam by the midget, Aaron Miles.
If an Aaron Miles homer
off of your staff signaled the beginning of a fire sale, the Pirates would already be a week (or more) into theirs.

what a match up
PIT: RHP John Van Benschoten (1-2, 9.77 ERA)
HOU: RHP Runelvys Hernandez (0-3, 10.29 ERA)
seems to be a winner for game of the week
I thought
they sent Hernandez down after the last time we played him.
Did they recall him? And if so… why?
