Game 85: Pirates at Astros
Stuffy Morton and Wandy Rodriguez at 2.
Jonezilla batting clean-up, again.
Weather is good for beer-fort repair. Pretty hot in 77002, however. Not sure if they will open the roof on Five Alive Field.

Game 80: Pirates at Fish
Morton and Volstad at six. (Six??)
Pirates are 36-43 and well in the cellar, but they still have a slightly plus run differential, which is curious.

Game 77: Cubs at Pirates
Lilly and Ohlendorf at 7.
...adding ... Pirates make two trades today. First Hinske to New York for some minor leaguers and then, as Dejan Kovacevic reports here: Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett for Lastings Milledge and Joel Hanrahan.
There will be a cascade effect from this deal. Bottom line is no padded cage for Ryan Doumit. He will have to play the field as the Pirates trade away a key part of the two-outfielder defense we've been perfecting on paper.

Greinke and maybe some Morton at one.
At 35-39, the Pirates are still in the cellar.

Game 74: Royals at Pirates
Chen and Maholm at seven.
Bucs are 34-39 after a three-game win streak. Still in the cellar and somehow only five games out of first place.
I am entertained by the talk of Nyjer for Milledge.

Thursday, June 25, 2009
