Game 140: Bats at Indians

No game for the Pirates today, but the last-place Indians host the first-place Bats at seven. It's family night.

Family night means four box seats, four hot dogs, four sodas, and four Indians Hats will cost you $52. Funny, I don't see anything about four beers.

Who do they think they are kidding?

There might be an audio feed here.

Pedro Alvarez

I have not yet read all the Pedro Alvarez stuff -- just the postings on the PG blog, including the statements from the Pirates. My first impression is that there must be more to the story.

Game 133: Cubs at Pirates

Marquis and Duke at twelve-thirty.

Pretty good chance of rain, so this one might go on as long as last night's game.

Game 123: Mets at Pirates

Pedro Martinez, Zach Duke, another Skyblast.

Dejan Kovacevic's coverage of the draft signing deadline makes Coonelly, Huntington, and Nutting look real good. Here's hoping these guys produce for the Pirates.
