Game 112: Dodgers at Pirates

1:35 PM EST. Jeff Weaver-Kip Wells donnybrook. Sensational win last night. Great to see all the young guys come together and spill some whoop-ass on the Dodgers. All hail Chris Duffy for hitting .388 and Zach Duke for tying Whitney Glazer's 1921 record of starting his career with the Bucs 5-0.

Friday's DK notebook reports that the Pirates are leaning towards bringing back Mesa to close in 2006. His 2006 team option is 4 million, but apparently that can be negotiated down. I hope way way down. Longtime readers of HW know that I'm a big fan of the Bucs' fifth all-time saves leader, but, WOW - no way in hell can we afford to pay him anywhere near 4 million next year, even if the payroll is raised to 50 million.
