Everything About Philly Stinks


We had it, right in our hands....actually Tyler Yates' hands. What has this guy's problem been? He was an unstoppable flame thrower out of the bullpen with Capps, Grabow, and Marte. His ERA is ginormous and it's getting to be as bad as Ian Snell. Speaking of....still struggling. It's awful and to put it bluntly, they blew a chance at taking 2 of 3. It started off in good vibes for the Pirates when it went 0-0 into the 12th before the Bucco's put up a 2 spot and hold on to win. That would be the end of the good news.

Bad news started pouring in while the team was in Philadelphia when they learned Phil Dumatrait was done for the year. His shoulder is going to need some medical experience applied to it and some serious rehab. Bummer, he was looking like a solid pitcher before the all-star break. Dang. Let's just hope he doesn't flop the the others, including Duke, Gorzelanny, Snell, and Maholm (who's been decent to say the least).


After losing 2 of 3, the Pirates came back from a 5 run deficit and pounded the Mets' bullpen in a make up game Monday at Shea Stadium. Good, I hate the Mets and I hate Pedro Martinez. Basically because he was friends with that bum Manny Ramirez. Does that guy still have a job in LA still? Oh right....they don't have anyone else to play left field. I understand now.

Next up, Jay Bruce, his brother Jesus, and his Dad Ted Williams from the Reds take on the Buc's.
