The Pirates love to play the Florida Marlins. They jumped out to a 7-0 lead and rode the sparkling pitching of Charlie Morton, who allowed only one ball to be hit hard in his six innings pitched. The Pirates held on to win 7-4 and push their record against Florida to 4-0 and 14-8 against the NL [...]

Quick thoughts on last night's game: Charlie Morton looked good. His fastball was 92-93 most of the night and his breaking stuff was nasty. Three of his four walks came in the fifth and sixth innings in which he clearly looked tired. That's more than understandable since he came back out after a 45 minute rain delay.
I also though Joel Hanrahan's outing was interesting. He started...

The Pirates are Marlins take the field at 6:10 to help you kick off your holiday weekend early. Charlie Morton and Chris Volstad take the mound in bright red caps as the Marlins try to stay in first place and the Pirates try to stay focused in light of even more swirling trade rumors (it's worth noting that DK is reporting there's nothing to the Pirates/Twins rumors and Sanchez is...

The Pirates' game this afternoon was a pretty wild, but I feel like I'm obliged to start this recap off by mentioning the incredible blast from the past that is the Charlotte Knights. The White Sox affilliate was playing in Durham tonight. Starting at shortstop; Brent Lillibridge. Starting in left field; Michael Restovich. Staring at first base; Daryle Ward. I don't need to tell...

First the report on Grabow from George A. King III: Pittsburgh had two scouts at last night's game, Jim Benedict, a former Yankees scout, and Larry Corrigan. Their presence fueled speculation the Yankees have an interest in 30-year-old lefty reliever John Grabow. With Damaso Marte's return from shoulder problems looking less likely by the day, the Yankees could use a second lefty...

I watched some of yesterday’s Mets/Pirates make-up game, but apparently not the right parts. In what I watched, the Mets were hitting singles and Keith Hernandez was ****-talking the ineffective, soft-tossing Paul Maholm — “where was this guy in the 1980s,” he said after Nick Evans hit something like the fifth straight single off Maholm [...]
