But no Luigi :(
I think JR has a rule that Pearce, Triple-M and Luigi cannot all start a game.
And why is Rivas still getting starts?? Bixler & Cruz should be getting all the IF starts.
from DK
1. Nate McLouth CF. 2. Luis Rivas 2B. 3. Ryan Doumit C. 4. Adam LaRoche 1B. 5. Doug Mientkiewicz 3B. 6. Steve Pearce RF. 7. Brandon Moss LF. 8. Luis Cruz SS. 9. Duke.

Asstros
1. Darin Erstad LF. 2. Mark Loretta 2B. 3. Miguel Tejada SS. 4. Lance Berkman 1B. 5. Hunter Pence RF. 6. Jose Castillo 3B. 7. Reggie Abercrombie CF. 8. Brad Ausmus C. 9. Oswalt.

I hope for the best.....
But Duke is pitching. I am expecting a 2-9 loss. I also believe his last three starts have been pretty good, which means the real Duke should be coming back out tonight. Hope I am wrong.
Come on team
lets win a game or 2!
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".
Or, you know...
hit into a DP.

yeah
he was on Floridia (as his MLB photo suggests)….released
Then SF….realeased (realeased from san fran? ouch)
Now Astros are playing him almost every day….scary
At least we know we can just pitch him low and away sliders all day to strike him out

I inadvertantly
tuned into the White Sox game on my way to the Cubs/Redbirds game, and hadda hear Hawk Harrelson piss and moan about the Sox not getting calls:
“If they keep this up, they’ll be using replay all the time.”
What a jqagoff.

You can’t listen to White Sox games with the sound on. It’s unhealthy.

Yeah, but
listening to White Sox games with the sound off is impossible.

WSCR radio
has Steve Stone doing Color with Ed (I AM ALWAYS RIGHT) Farmer. It’s not as fun as listening to Ron (OH, MY GOD!) Santo on WGN, though.
I like Stone. He’s quite good, except when he has to stoop down to Farmer’s level.

Oswalt has faced 9 batters
throught the first 3 IP. Very efficient.
How scary is the thought that at the end of the year Zach Duke will have the second best 2008 ERA of any PBC starting pitcher?
well in fairness
Dumatrait’s last two starts probably shouldn’t count against him

Charlie -
in reference to your above comment, please note that Rivas has the only Bucco hit so far…

Now,
watch ’em move Pence along, and Oswalt will slap a hit to right to score him. Grrrr.

JR's quote in the PG tomorrow
“Duke pitched well for us except when he didn’t.”
Isn’t it the bench coach’s job to nudge the manager awake when the SP has totally lost it in the middle innings and make sure he brings in a starter?
In JR’s universe is it against the law to remove a pitcher except at the end of an inning?
what was he waiting on
with the 2-0 count? swung through a 90 MPH fastball

of winning 3 more games this season?

are the Pirates even trying anymore?
I’m serious. can anyone who is watching this epic disaster of a baseball franchise lurch into another loss tell that they (players, coaches, everyone) are even trying at all to win these remaining games?
I was about to write the same thing
It seems like the coaches and pitching has given up. I miss the days when the PBC would use 5 pitchers in one inning.
Is Capps even still on the team? He might as well bring a rocking chair to the stadium, or offer to sell peanuts in the stands.
The position players seem to be trying (even Luigi, despite what Joe Torre a$$ kissers write), but with McLouth and Doumit in slumps there’s absolutely nobody for opposing pitchers to fear in the lineup.
If I were Huntington, I’d tell JR not to play anyone over 25 the rest of the way. Let the AAA’ers get some experience.
by WstCstBucco on Sep 11, 2008 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions
anytime you have more errors than hits,
that’s some wretched baseball. I agree, let the AAA’ers play the rest of the way, and maybe we’ll end up with the #1 pick next year.
Jesse Chavez seems nice at least
Maybe it’s just the Astros, who have successfully made Tyler Yates and Craig Hansen look good this series, but Chavez is throwing a hard 96 MPH fastball and a nasty 81 MPH slider. 4 Ks, a walk, and an infield single so far in 1.2 innings.
Chavez
He just turned 25 last month so he’s ok with me.

Mercifully, it's over
Oswalt gets another CG SO.
Look Up "Oswalt" In The Dictionary
It says “great competitor”.
Meanwhile ...
look up the season line for Jair Jurrgens, who beat the Rox tonight to go 13-9. It’s pretty good considering he’s FREAKIN’ 22. Now remind me: Didn’t we have a chance to snag him from Detroit but we (and by “we” I mean that idiot moron Littlefield) got hung up on worthless Craig Monroe?
Yeah. That’s what I thought.
