Game 64: Pirates at Giants

Paul Maholm faces off against Jason Schmidt starting now. Jack is 1 for 13 lifetime vs. Schmidt, which is why I'd guess he's taking the day off. The Rake is playing short and Bautista third. Burnitz gets the start despite his .626 career OPS vs. Schmidt.

Perotto has three rumors: Atlanta and ChiSox want Torres, Lincoln will sign soon, and "...St. Louis seems like a more likely destination for Wilson if the Pirates would take rookie reliever Adam Wainwright in a deal instead of rookie starter Anthony Reyes."

Rowdy reads the standings, and he adds these comments: The Pirates are 24-39, fifteen games under .500 and twelve and a half games out from the wild card. They are tied with the Marlins for last place in those standings. They've won five of their last ten, but only 38.1% of all games. The road record has "improved" to 7-25 with recent wins.
