(AP Photo. Good, bad, and ugly: A 2-4, 2 RBI night for Lastings Milledge against his old mates, which also featured some vintage Lastings-esque hyjinks in the outfield in the 8th inning to cost his team a run.) "It was fun out there. I wouldn't say there were any nerves at all. I'm relaxed. This isn't like any feeling I've had when coming up to the majors, even in New York. I feel like I deserve to be here. I wasn't in the minor leagues with a chip on my shoulder this team. I was doing my work." (Lastings Milledge, via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 8/1/2009) Revenge! PirAAAtes 5, Nationals 4: Old buddy Joel Hanrahan tried his best to blow it in the 8th, but it wasn't enough. Lannan didn't have it. Elijah Dukes, Jorge Sosa, called up from AAA.

It starts tonight

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  July 31, 2009
With most of the Littlefield Pirates gone and Lastings Milledge in Pittsburgh, whatever it is that Neal Huntington is building towards begins tonight. We've all heard everything there is to hear about Milledge, but tonight we actually get to see him. I won't lie, I'm excited. I'm also of the opinion that this Pirate team as currently configured right now won't...

Game 102: Pirates 5 Nationals 4

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  July 31, 2009
As debuts go, I don't think I could've expected more than to see Lastings Milledge get two hits and drive in two runs against his former team tonight. Of course, I couldn't see it because of my ... proximity ... to Washington D.C. (thanks, Bud), but I'm watching through the highlights at MLB.com right now and I think I feel about as good as a fan can feel after a...

Lastings Milledge: A Roll of the Dice and a Baseball Philosophy

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 03, 2009
Which would you rather have, five dollars, or the chance to roll a single die and earn $1 times the number on the die? The "fiver" is Nyjer Morgan with his five-win (over replacement) trajectory, and the die roll is Lastings Milledge. That's because Milledge could be worth anywhere from one win (Brandon Moss) to six wins (Alex Rodriguez) over replacement. For now, we...

The second night

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  August 01, 2009
I'll admit that I'm a little less disappointed that the Pirates are blacked out tonight, but that's only because Indianapolis is playing in Durham with Jose Ascanio on the mound and Jose Tabata presumably making his Indians' debut. So while I'll have to miss Lastings Milledge and the new-look Buccos for the second time in a row, I'll at least be at the Indians...

Developing a Core: The Pirates Are Stockpiling High-End Talent

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 01, 2009
Yesterday in Pittsburgh, Lastings Milledge looked like he belonged in the No. 2 spot in the Pirates lineup behind Andrew McCutchen, hitting two RBI singles in the Bucs' victory, his first game in a Pittsburgh uniform. Elsewhere, Jeff Clement hit two home runs in his debut with the Indianapolis Indians, the Pirates' AAA affiliate. So far, so good. Clement, part of the five...
