I guess the Pirates really were buyers this year. Good for them.
Orioles get a single-A first baseman, Aaron Baker, in return.

In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby. -
Better than Overbay. Which isn't saying much.
Lyle Overbay (348 ab) .227, 7 hr, 35 rbi
Derrek Lee (334 ab) .246, 12 hr, 41 rbi (.250, 6, 19 in July)
Hopefully, a return to the NL can boost Lee's numbers.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I think this is a good move for the Buccos. Definitely an upgrade and maybe Lee revives a little back in the NL and out of the AL East.Comment

Overbay's last stand: a go-ahead two-run homer against the Phils.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I was thinking that they would definitely put Ibanez on with a man on second and first base open since he was killing the ball all day (2 hr already). But, nooooooo they have to let him win the game with the #7 hitter on deck. Even a pinch hitter would have been preferable to Ibanez. Overall i like what Hurdle is doing but every once in awhile i have to wonder.Originally posted by Erik View PostPromptly blown by the bullpen.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Lee homers in his 2nd Pirates at bat!
edit: And it was off of his old buddy "Hot Head" Zambrano.

i think they should just go ahead and try to trade lee and maybe ludwick. this losing streak came a few weeks too late but we knew the wheels were coming off to some degree at some point. funny thing is, everyone thought it would be earlier. 7 straight losses at home against the cubs and padres is pathetic.Comment

Their pitching was a mirage that has now been exposed. While we can second-guess about whether they should have been buyers in July, doing so was something that long-suffering fanbase really needed.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

WOW. I just checked the standings and saw that they are 10 GB. Last time I checked it was 1. I thought there must be an error. Then I saw that they are 0-10 in their last 10. Ouch.Originally posted by Erik View Post
