They're all off the 40-man.
Bautista and Bootcheck are no surprise. The big news here is the removal of Hansen, who was one of four players acquired in the Jason Bay deal. Hansen has a nerve disorder that could take years to heal, which is bad enough, but there's also...

The Pirates have placed Donnie Veal on the DL and have promoted Chris Bootcheck. It's nice to see Bootcheck, who's persevered...

The Pittsburgh Pirates and reliever Chris Bootcheck have parted ways.
Bootcheck didn’t exactly fit into the Pirates future despite being a 2009 Triple-A All-Star. When the Pirates put him on waivers a few days ago it signaled the end to his time with the organization. So now...

Denny Bautista, Chris Bootcheck, and Craig Hansen are off the 40-man...

I think that the highlight of this game was Chris Bootcheck striking out two hitters in the sixth inning to drop his ERA to 21.60. That should pretty much tell you exactly what you need to know about this one. We did manage to draw four walks off of Jiminez in his eight innings, but...

Cubs Clobber Pirates
This might be a new low. This was horrible. The matinee was broadcast on WGN and I was half tempted to hunker down and watch. I didn't (guilty conscience prevents me from doing so) and am mightily glad I didn't.

Denny Bautista
Chris Bootcheck
Matt Capps
Phil Dumatrait
Jesse Chavez
Joel Hanrahan
Steven Jackson
Yikes. With a lead or in a close game, I would trust...
