Have Pirates Added Evan Meek to 40-Man Roster?
WTM just noticed that the Pirates now list Evan Meek on their 40-man roster, even though there hasn't been an announcement about it. Meek needed to be protected to avoid being selected (again) in the Rule 5 draft. Most of us know him from his awful showing with the Bucs earlier this year, but after...
Ryan Doumit Out a Month; Evan Meek Stays with Bucs
Ryan Doumit will be out at least a month, the Post-Gazette reports. That doesn't surprise me -- yesterday, some were reporting ten days, which seemed overly optimistic for a fracture, even a minor one. The Bucs also swung a deal with the Rays to keep Rule 5 pick Evan Meek, who'd cleared waivers...
Pirates Recall Sean Burnett, Dump Evan Meek

The Mets fielded poorly (there were three errors, and nine of the Pirates' runs were unearned), and Oliver Perez just couldn't find the strike...
Cubs 13, Pirates 1
Not much to like about this one, other than Nate McLouth extending his hitting streak to 17 games. Tom Gorzelanny looked terrible, possessing neither stuff nor location, and the Pirates were down by a million runs in the first third of the game. From there, things just got worse, which will happen...
Dodgers 11, Pirates 2
This one was ugly. Dodgers starter Hong-Chih Kuo was, at least, interesting, walking in a run before striking out a bunch of batters and flashing great stuff (for a lefty), before being pulled after four innings. More than anything else, though, this game was just another data point in support of...
