agreed. I fully expected St Lou to win last night. The Pirates showed some moxie.
Now if the Reds can keep capitalizing on the weak part of their sked, this will be a great 3 team race.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

After having great success with recent pitching reclamation projects Jason Grilli, Mark Melancon, A.J. Burnett and Francisco Liriano, the Pirates are now going to try their luck with Kyle Farnsworth. I'm starting to think Pirates pitching coach Ray Searage deserves a pay raise/contract extension.
Rotoworld:
Pirates signed RHP Kyle Farnsworth to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Farnsworth was released by the Rays last week after posting a 5.76 ERA over 39 appearances this season. The veteran reliever could join the Pirates' bullpen in September.

My ambition remains small. 82 wins. More than that is great, a playoff berth is the cherry on the sundae. A World Series win? Well, I put $25 on them at 40-1 in Vegas last December, so not only would it be wonderful, it would be quite profitable.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Uh oh, Wandy Rodriguez owners/fans and Pirates fans. From Rotoworld--
"Wandy Rodriguez will visit Dr. James Andrews next week after feeling more pain in his left forearm during a simulated game Thursday.
Rodriguez felt discomfort during a bullpen session earlier this week but decided to go forward with Thursday's sim game. Obviously, it didn't go as hoped. The left-hander's season seems likely to be over, and at this point he's probably just hoping to avoid Tommy John surgery. Rodriguez has a $13 million player option for 2014, with the Pirates being responsible for $7.5 million of that total."
This may not effect this year too much, but it could be a wasted $7.5 million out of next year's budget.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Garrett Jones hitting just .235 with 12 hr and 43 rbi. And now this from Rotoworld:
FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that Kendrys Morales has been claimed on waivers by an unknown team.

I don't know if this will help, but at least the Pirates are in a position where dealing in late August may get them somewhere. From Rotoworld--
"Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports that the Mets have traded Marlon Byrd and John Buck to the Pirates.
Both players are fine fits for Pittsburgh, as Byrd provides some much-needed outfield help while Buck will back up Russell Martin now that Michael McKenry (knee) is out for the rest of the season. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports hears that the Mets will receive a minor leaguer and a player to be named later in return."
Both players could be valuable reserves. I'd prefer to see Buck playing only once a week in relief of Martin, and Byrd filling in for a hot Tabata or Lambo, with both as pinch-hitters the bulk of the time.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
