Well, they lost, and nobody saw it because it wasn't on TV [Dejan explains why]. - Jimmy Barthmaier did not pitch particularly well. His first inning was so ugly that the PBC Blog [link above] was compiling a list of things he'd rather be doing instead of pitching at the moment...

Certainly didn't seem like it, but it was there at Miller Park. - The bottom of the first and top of the second were perfect indications of this. The leadoff man for the Brewers reached on a Nyjer Morgan error. After an out, Ryan Braun hit a liner that Nate McLouth dove for and...

You know, I honestly had no idea that Luis Gonzalez was still in baseball. Apparently he is and he's looking for a bench role that will enable him to get paid $1 million or so to stay in baseball. And hey, whaddya know! The Pirates are game!

The Mets, like any other team, have had periods of success and periods of down years. From 1969-1976, the Mets averaged 84 wins, only finished lower than third once and those 7 years earned us 1 World Championship and 2 Pennants. For the glory days of 1984-1990, we averaged an impressive...

The Pirates offense is not what it used to be. This is a fact. - Things started off horribly (as they usually have this year) for Ian Snell--he gave up two runs and threw about 678 pitches in a miserable first inning. He settled down after that, though, and got through 6 allowing just...

The two just don't work well together. Every off-season, people always go on and on about how the Bucs need to jump in to the market and grab some bats, arms, gloves, whatever. It's not that easy, people. They try. We just don't remember because every year the attempt fails...
