On This Date........
in 1973, leftfielder Willie Stargell robs Ken Singleton of a homer in the fifth, homers himself in the sixth, and throws out Tony Scott at home in the seventh inning of a 3-0 defeat of the Expos in the second game of a doubleheader at Montreal. Tom Walker(Neil’s father), pitched the last couple innings for the Expos in this game.
Tonight's Lineup
Presley 9
Harrison 5
McCutchen 8
Lee 3
Walker 4
Ludwick 9
Jaramillo 2
Cedeno 6
Lincoln 1
BTW, everybody should check out the Rumbunter article in the sidebar featured on Yahoo Sports
Funny stuff, and sums up the season really well too. Sums up our collapse, while not ignoring the huge step forward made this year and the potential this team has to break out big soon.
That's an incomplete version...
don’t know why they put it up yet.
Free your ass and your mind will follow.

Yeah, it's good.
We went through and cleaned it up a bit…
I’ll post a link somewhere when it’s up.

So, since you're the only one here....
how did we not score w/2 on and one out?
What does that mean?!
Rhetorical question... right?

You assbag, JJ
It doesn’t help that the Bucs can’t hit, you can’t run into outs like that…
One more rhetorical question
before I start some work – why is JJ playing rather than the Fort? Doo we really expect Jaramillo to be our back up catcher next year?
What does that mean?!
If we don't exercise Doumit's option, we have McKenry and Jaramillo
Jaramillo has really impressed with the bat in a SSS. We need to test the waters with him to make a decision about Doumit
Lincoln...
is at least consistent. Four hits, four doubles.
I'd like to stay and converse with you fine gentlemen
regarding the nuances of baseball, and, in particular, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2011 version of it, as it is always scintillating (at worst) or transcendent (at best); however, I have 2 tickets to see OMD tonight, and I’m about to go use them.
Ciao.
Free your ass and your mind will follow.
I'd actually take
The Bucs season this year over the Reds. With all of their young players, they really looked like they could be a force in the division for the next couple of years. This has got to be really disappointing for them. I kept waiting for them to snap out of their funk, but it never really happened…
All things in perspective...
we’ve had a pretty great year
At the start of the season
I thought they’d win about 70 games, I just didn’t know what a rollercoaster it was gonna be.
If they win three games tonight and through the end of the season, that's 73
which is a 16 game improvement… and you gotta remember that we had about a month and half HORRIBLE stretch, which is only offset by a month and a half slightly-better-than-average stretch. Up to you to decide which one was the anomaly…
73 wins is the 2nd best season at pnc park, id call it an improvement over anything we’ve seen the past few years
Thats what she said! - Michael Gary Scott
Right
I’m looking at this from what the Reds were looking at coming into the season. Thanks to stuff like Dusty’s obsession with vets, I think that kind of sunk them. In addition to having a pretty inconsistent pitching staff other than Cueto.
True
For a mid-market team that has cellar-dwelled for a while, they were a good story coming into this year. In any other division I’d be pretty disappointed
I still think
They can rebound…sounds like Jocketty and Dusty are at a pretty big disagreement in regards to how to play things going forward. If their pitching rebounds, I think they can be back up there next year. Votto and Bruce are forces in the middle of the lineup, along with Philips and I think they’ve got some good young guys coming up…gotta figure out what to do with Alonso too.
One of the best rallies of the year

Didn't last night's pitcher go 4 and 2/3?

Good clutch job by Lincoln
at same pitch count Locke was at (80); thought for sure he’d get yanked after the IW

I miss the days
earlier this season where we needed 2 or 3 overflows
Big game for Jay-Hay tonight
Hopefully he’ll get the chance next year to show he’s legit
Hopefully still one more chance for Harrison to make history, nojinx
inside-the-parker would be beautiful… 5-5 would even be noteworthy. Nojinx.

We better hope so...
100,000,000 is on the line!

no cycle I guess
I was really hoping for that $50…
Ruined the symmetry
of JH going 5-5 and Cutch going 0-0
