Go Get um Bucs!
OK, one week to go and we have a chance to bury the Brew Crew. I am not hopeful with Karstens on the mound but maybe our hitters can get some early runs. Then the bullpen can come in and hold ’em off.
Go Buccos!

as much as I'd like to see the Pirates win these games,
… I’d rather see the Brewers as the wild card team, and the Mets left out of the postseason again.

Any bets on whether the knee guy in Vail will agree with Dr. DeMeo?

Who is 4th OF, now?
Does JR start Pearce or Michaels?
How securely is Pearce nailed to JR’s bench?

This week...
is likely Steven Pearce’s only chance to escape the crypt under the Clemente Bridge. If he doesn’t play 5 of the next 6 games, at least…it’s safe to assume that he’s no longer in the Pirates plans…no matter what happens next spring. With LaRoche and Moss both down…there’s plenty of room for him to play.

Yeah. Unfortunately, there’s only six games left. It’s too bad, in a way.

Man, it’s got to be pretty hard for someone like Jeff Karstens to function with a leaky defense.

No
He wouldn’t have got it anyway. The Bucs are not good enough for recognition – other than losing.

6 games to go
Does anyone want to start a Steve Pearce deathwatch? I figure if he doesn’t hit at least .400 with 2-3 HR’s in this last week, his future with the PBC is toast.
Or am I too late? Is he already Zombie Steve Pearce, just playing out the string while Nyjer Morgan preps for the 600 ABs he’s going to get for the 2009 PBC as the regular LF (with 0 HR, a .700 OPS, 30 SB and 35 CS)?

Morgan had a .689 OPS on the year going into the game today. It’s amazing to me that people think his season has gone well.

I mean, I know that’s not necessarily what you said.
by Charlie on Sep 23, 2008 9:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah...
not implying he’s having a good season or anything.
Just that whenever I “watch”, Nyjer will pull off a hit or 2 (more likely 2), and Pearce (if he’s playing) will generally struggle to get on base.

Nyjer has been hitting lately, you can't deny that
What you can deny is:
A) if it means anything
B) if it will continue
Personally: Nyjer and Pearce are both stopgaps until either/both Cutch/Tabata make it to the big club, which is hopefully some point next yr (for Cutch at least). In my mind the real debate is who is the better bench player—which tells you that it isn’t that big of a deal

The Brewers pull their SP rather than have him face the Dread Pirate Pearce. The legendary Todd Coffey can’t get Pearce out — single up the middle. Go Pearce!!

ah, Chicago
I was up there in April, went to Wrigley, and saw the Bucs lose 13-1!
Great atmosphere and stuff, but man, my dislike for them has grown exponentially since that day.
Soldier Field is the ugliest structure known to man. I liked Chicago in general, though

almost…kinda…sorta…close to 2nd base…about 7 feet. Real lucky he didn’t get called out for interference.

It's kinda surreal
watching Gagne throw 91-92 mph fastballs. That used to be his slider.
He threw 97-98 mph consistently in his glory days with the Dodgers. Better living through science I guess.

Did Nyjer think Nolan Ryan was pitching?
He was WAY over in left center…as if Cameron couldn’t turn on a Chavez fastball. Way out of position…and his candy arm throw didn’t even make it to Cruz…who dropped it anyway. A good throw…and there would have been a play at the plate.

she had a great sense of humour. She’d have loved that one.
She was also a life-long Pirates fan, and she made it well into her eighties. She would have a thing or fifty to say about the current team(s).

I'd be interested to know who decides on
positioning of the Pirates outfielder. Is it the players…or a coach (like maybe Frazier)?? We’ve seen several times tonight…and recently…outfielders appearing to be way out of position…this time it was Pearce.
