No internet the rest of the day for me so here's a thread for tonight's game.
Carl Pavano is a right-handed, tank-sized finesse pitcher (6'5", 240 pounds) who gets his groundballs. He's a lot like Jeff D'Amico (the one who started 29 games for us last year). Once upon a time, Pavano was traded in multi-player deals for Pedro Martinez and later, for Cliff Floyd, as he struggled in the early years of his big-league career. He's been great for some time now.
He should bounce back from his last start. He was the NL Pitcher of the Month for June. He's been very good all year. The Pirates have their work cut out for them.
Tonight's game will set the tone for the rest of the first half.
How they respond to the end of their streak will tell us more about the team than the streak itself.
