Chris Gomez is a Pirate no more.
I really like Nicolas' idea to do a sort of Pirates' "Futures Game." I'm pretty sure the team used to do something like this in the 90s, but

I saw none of the game, but here's what I can gather: -CC and Maholm both pitched pretty decent games. Neither factored into the decision--Paul gave up 2 runs in 6 and CC gave up one in 7. -The Bucs were down 1 in the 9th, and old buddy Salomon Torres blew a save. That had to be...
