Paul Maholm vs. John Maine, 12:35. I actually get to go to Pittsburgh for this one. Hopefully, I'll have a substantial update later today. Thanks for your patience. Things are crazy here, but this week looks a bit less crazy.

John Maine v. Paul Maholm
I’d love to watch, too bad it isn’t on FSN. Only significant lineup notes: Jose Reyes sits, Jason Michaels bats ahead of Andy LaRoche in the five hole, Brandon Moss isn’t starting due to his ankle.
Ugh

Hopefully he settles down.
Any updates on Moss??
Is he going to the DL?

From the replay, I would have bet he landed on the DL.

Duke to pitch from the bullpen
According to Lanny, talked to john russel and neil Huntington
He didnt say anything about going down to AAA which absolutely sucks,
He said Gorzo or Ross will get that time
I think both, right?
Snell, Karstens, Maholm, Davis, Gorzo, Ohlendorf, didn’t they talked about going to a six man rotation to reduce workload?
Can't see sending anyone to AAA,
without having to screw with the 25 man roster, especially since the Sept 1st roster expansion is coming up. The AAA season ends soon anyhow.

dang 2 men on with
nobody out and pirates can’t even get a run. =[
Capps is going to be activated Friday
so someone else has to go down too
10 Quality Starts in a row/Aug. 08 - BUT now we can't hit:(
I cannot remember
the last time I saw that call being made.
Alright Freddy
Come on Doumit, end that streak!

Fudge!
Gawd, the pirates feel like they’re going thru motions right now aside from Maholm pitching.
Mets announcers ...
Mets SP’s have held opponents scoreless thru 6 innings in the
last five games.

You’ve got to stop being so apologetic about having a life. I think when people complain because you aren’t posting enough, you should refund their Bucs Dugout membership fee.
Freddie ... swinging at anything
between the two batters boxes

Burnett is stepping it up
He’s only been scored on once in his last 10 appearances. His ERA has dropped every month.
He’s got a new out pitch — a slider — that’s nasty against LH batters.
That’s what August and September are for this year — to find out who’s ready to contribute in 2009 and who can be trade bait (Grabow?).
P.S. Burnett may get his first win today in what, 4 years?? (No jinx)

Jack wilson with a Double!!!
2 more runs!!! 5-2 bucs.
Anyone watching the game?
My guess is that Pearce’s hit was a bloop, since it went to left center Michaels didn’t score from second.
grounder past drawn-in infield ...
to shallow left

question
Hi! I’m new to enjoying baseball. I have a question about pitchers intentionally walking batters. I can understand why they would do this to a strong hitter, but why would they do it to a weaker hitter? Or am I misunderstanding what happened?
The first one
was to get a runner on first to set up a double play.
The second one was walking a stronger hitter.
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.

Grumble grumble
Pittsburgh baseball not being on TV in Utah getting in the way of watching a potential Pirates win… shakes fist

The first thing I see
when I start watching is a groundout to Jack to end it. Didn’t get to see anything else, but hey, we won!
Mr. Excitement is back tomorrow,
while Minky is placed on the bereavement list. Check Dejan’s blog for details.
