That means the Bucs have 10 days to release, trade, or waive Beam. They will likely waive him, and I would be shocked if nobody claims him off

The two biggest stories in Pirate-land today had nothing to do with our sport of choice, baseball. I'm not big on the touchy-feely stuff, but today the Pirates got emotional and put their lives in perspective, and we should do the same. --- First, the good news. Doug Mientkiewicz...

As good as the Pirates have been in extra innings, they weren't quite good enough today. But they were darn close. - Two good young pitchers started, Maholm and Kershaw, and neither got a decision (meaning Paul will have just one more shot at a 10th win), although both pitched...

It all helps. Tonight's game was a crazy one. - (Deep Breath) - The Bucs scored in the first after a Nyjer hustle double. They tacked on another in the 3rd (both runs via Doumit RBI singles). The Dodgers scored 4 off Duke in the 4th, two of them thanks to a 2-out walk to the pitcher...
