Link Roundup: Adam LaRoche At It Again
-P- The Bucs, as if suddenly having noticed that they'd only scored about six runs all month, dropped fifteen on the Dodgers tonight. The Pirates did this against a pretty good starting pitcher (Chad Billingsley) too. Adam LaRoche hit two homers and drove in five runs, and every spot in the lineup...
Adam LaRoche to DL; Brian Bixler Back
The Post-Gazette reports that Adam LaRoche has hit the DL with some sort of torso problem, so Brian Bixler will take his spot on the roster. Doug Mientkiewicz stands to inherit a good chunk of playing time as a result of LaRoche's absence. Let's hope LaRoche isn't out too long--he seems to take...
Link Roundup: Freddy Sanchez, Adam LaRoche Injured
-P- The Post-Gazette reports that Freddy Sanchez and Adam LaRoche were both hurt today. Both have back spasms (weird--did they both take Greyhound to the game or something?). Sanchez's don't appear to be serious, but LaRoche "[struggled] to tie his shoes" after the game." -P- Daniel McCutchen made...
Pirates 12, Yankees 5
This one featured offense from... well, just about everybody: Doug Mientkiewicz, Adam LaRoche, Nyjer Morgan, the trainer, the batboy, the vendor behind the backstop with the rad retro threads... Still, it was a minor miracle that the Yankees weren't able to make a game of this one, since Tom...
Nationals 7, Pirates 6
This game started swimmingly, with Paul Maholm racking up one- and two-pitch outs against the weak-hitting Nationals. The Bucs grabbed three quick runs in the first inning after an RBI groundout by Freddy Sanchez and a two-run jack by Ryan Doumit. The Bucs even caught quite a break -- Jason Bay was...
Pirates 8, Cardinals 4
I didn't mean to focus on the negative by failing to post a recap of last night's game. The sad truth was that I had to leave in the eighth inning, so I missed all the fun. It sounds like there would have been a lot to talk about, too, so I can understand why the game thread was so huge -- Marino...
Pirates 5, Braves 0; Braves 8, Pirates 1
When you've got a doubleheader and you're starting Zach Duke and John Van Benschoten, you've got to be pretty happy winning just one. In the first game, the mirage Duke is conjuring just got bigger, as he pitched six scoreless innings despite five walks and only three strikeouts. For the season,...
Pirates Wouldn't Pursue Carlos Pena
Dejan Kovacevic reports that someone in the Pirates' employ in early 2007 was "pleading" for Dave Littlefield to acquire Carlos Pena, who went on to hit 46 homers last year. This is certainly interesting, but there's no way I'm adding this to the long list of things I blame Littlefield for. Pena...
Cubs 13, Pirates 6
Another ugly game, and believe it or not, Evan Meek didn't allow any of those thirteen runs. Luis Rivas didn't play in this one, either, so our usual whipping boys aren't to blame. Instead, Zach Duke got bombed, then Franquelis Osoria relieved him in the fifth and got bombed even worse, and then...
