Moyer and Maholm at seven. Skyblast again, so I expect a full house with lots of fans arriving around the eighth inning.

Game 120: Phillies at Pirates
Durbin and Gorzelanny at seven.
Durbin has been in the bullpen, and he's not expected to go too many innings tonight.
Coming off a shutout, Gorzelanny is due to get bombed. I'm hoping he's better than that, but I've developed that expectation over the years. It seems to me that a lot of starters get blown out in starts after the All-Star game and starts after complete-game shutouts.
Pirate news
Dejan Kovacevic's P-G notebook has something to say about Littlefield's contract extension, Jack Wilson clearing waivers, and that prospect guy who wanted "$10 million and a major-league contract." (The nerve of that guy ... thinking the Pirates have $10M in payroll to throw away.)

Game 119: Mets at Pirates
Brian Lawrence and Tony Armas. The Benny Hill music starts at seven.
After the game ... Skyblast. And Styx in concert. Yes ... Styx.
Skyblast + Styx = sold out Pittsburgh baseball stadium.

Games 115 and 116: Giants at Pirates
Cain and Maholm, Lowry and Youman. Game one at five.
I'm off to scout Latin America, but I hope to be back in time to catch the second game.
God to punish Pirates
Great, just great.
Salomon Torres explains in Post-Gazette report from Dejan Kovacevic.
God's wrath will surely end the Pirates' long run of winning seasons.
It was fun while it lasted.
