You may have heard the news this afternoon that ex-Pirate and current Brewer Salomon Torres has retired. At first glance there probably seems like there's not much there, but I think this is worth spending at least a few minutes on for one simple reason: there's not one person...

Yeah.....Tom Gorzelanny gave up all 6 in 4.2 innings. Not an ideal return. Adam LaRoche homered, but the Bucs left a lot of guys on base and should have done a lot more against Jeff Suppan. Torres notched a save. There isn't a whole lot more to say about this one. - Will we ever...

Nieses to Pieces. That's the funny nickname pitching coach Dan Warthen used when he listed the 21-year-old lefthander, Jon Niese, on Tuesday's schedule for his rotation. It turned out to be prophetic.
Niese, the Mets' top pitching prospect, came unglued in his major...

I was wrong about Trevor Hoffman coming here. I honestly thought geography would trump closing. (This also means I'm wrong about Salomon Torres being retired to avoid spring training.) But hey. I think I'm happy about this as a gamble. Maybe. He does come with relatively good...
Brewers unable to avoid a doubleheader sweep
Had you told me before the start of game two Saturday night that the Red Sox would have three errors against the Brewers I would have bet the house on a Brewers win. Unless, of course, you would have also mentioned that the Brewers would have four errors of their own.

Same old story for Tom Gorzelanny--in the first inning, that is. He gave up a single, walk, and home run, and just like that, it was 3-0 after 3 batters. - After that, Gorzo was brilliant. Indianapolis-like. He made it all the way through seven innings and was virtually flawless in...
Brewers top the Reds and Sheets leaves early
