We never thought it would happen, but we kind of had the idea it could. It's Jason Bay though, he loves the city and the city enjoys Jason Bay. It all came down on one of the Pirates 6 Thursday's off this year, directly after a series win against the Rockies. Hey Bucco's! Thanks for getting some of that respect you lost from me last week while you were in Denver. The offense was still looking sharp and Ian Snell got a win? Somehow Ian lasted 7 innings and gave up 4 runs.....and won?! I guess we'll just leave that as it may and leave Ian Snell alone, because I'm sure he has a rough time sleeping at night with that 6.04 ERA. I think I saw that number as a score during X-Games 14 last night.
Like I sa
id, the Pirates offense continues to shine (although we'll see what happens now that 2 of the top 3 HR knockers are gone) and Nate McClouth now has himself 22 home runs from the lead off spot. That's amazing. Shall I say almost Alfonso Soriano like? Minus the 34 foot bat though. You can't blame the Pirates in game three for putting up 4 runs and not winning. The offense got themselves 4 runs, all off of 14 game winner Aaron Cook. Zack Duke, however, looked like garbage and barely made it 5 innings. Just enough to get himself the loss and put more pressure on the offense and bull pen. The Pirates had to play from behind in every single game this season, with the Rockies scoring runs in the first frame in all three games. Thanks for the pressure pitching staff :). I guess with all these trades of high powered offensive bats, the pitching needs to step up.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Let's see what happens. The Pirates end up with some good young talent, although Andy LaRoche won't be playing with his brother for a while with Adam being on the DL. I have a lot of faith in what Neil Hunnington has brought into the organization and held his ground on these trades for once. Unlike Dave Littlefield, who would wet his pants 4 hours prior to the deadline and trade off hot commodities like they were Big Lots slashing prices. Andy LaRoche, ummm, take it as you want. He's supposed to be a pretty big deal at third base. No one has seen any of that yet. Maybe, a small Pittsburgh market is just what he needs. Then the Pirates get this guy Craig Hansen, who is supposed to be a dominant closer, says Peter Gammons. What happened to Matt Capps shutting things down? I guess there's always room for a another set up man. Let's wait and see how things pan out. It looks like this losing thing will be sticking around a while longer. I thought that's why we got guys like Bay and Nady back in 2004 and last year? I must of been mistaken.
