Hey, that was a dandy. Sean Burnett is beginning to look like a keeper. And, it's great to string some wins together.
But let's not talk about a winning streak while the team is an inexcusable twelve games below .500. Twelve games below .500! That sucks. Maybe they will do something about it tomorrow.
Rake Tedman I mean Tike Redman "was the offensive star on a night in which the two teams combined for 12 hits" (says Ed). He's looking a little more like the guy we saw in the second half of last year. Just a little - let's not go overboard - but he gets a star for his pretty starless cap tonight.
Randall Simon had a hit and walked again. The walk was intentional so he's putting the fear of Sausage into someone right now.
All the jabbering Pirate fans pretty much agree that he shouldn't play now because he's not part of the future. (Myself included, of course.)
How do we know that? Not too many Pirates are signed for next year. How do we know who's part of the future and who's not?
Maybe the Pirates can get creative and re-sign Simon to some kind of one-year contract (with a pay cut; $800K is too much) that automatically voids if he reports to camp above a certain weight.
Or maybe not ....
