Game 106: Pirates at Braves

1:05 PM EST. Zach Duke tries to stop the bleeding against Tim Hudson in another chance to avoid the four game sweep. Bucs have lost 5 straight, are 22.5 games back, and now at 44-61 have the worst record in the NL besides the Rockies. I'm guessing Gerut will hit second as the Lawton-less Bucs try to find other ways to score a few runs. At least if Gerut totally tanks or hurts himself again, we won't owe him much in arbitration.

Mercifully, Steelers training camp began today. #1 pick Heath Miller signed (as did #2 pick Bryant McFadden and #3 pick Trai Essex) but Hines Ward didn't report to camp and is apparently going to hold out until he's offered a contract extension.
