Fogg and Bay

Great quote from Josh Fogg, who will go tomorrow on three days' rest:

"I don't throw the ball hard enough to get any wear and tear," Fogg joked. "When you are throwing the ball 85 miles an hour, you are not really straining yourself too much.

Fogg is one of those guys who suceeds by getting other people to underestimate him.

Jason Bay sat out yesterday with some tightness in his surgically-repaired shoulder. Expect him to miss games periodically the rest of the season. The Pirates have plenty of incentive to give him plenty of rest.

In the meantime, we'll enjoy seeing more of Tony Alvarez. Mac on Alvarez:

"He is a wild, parts-flying-everywhere type of player," said McClendon. "You take the good with the bad. He'll screw up from time-to-time and he'll do some good things from time-to-time. As he matures and gets to play a little bit more, hopefully you'll see less and less of the bad.

Both quotes from Ed Eagle's report.
