I was there at one time. My dad still thinks that they're called "Pokemans." I know, right? Like, get a clue or whatever..

Hey Pix! Did you see DK's weekly column? Also, did you see Sutton's tweet?

Holy cow. I think my followers went up a little bit. Must have been something I did.

Haven't read DK's column, but Sutton is loving life right now. Hahah. My favorite is when he responded to WHYGAVS.

@whygavs
DREW SUTTON! YOUR AWFUL OUTFIELD DEFENSE IS FORGIVEN!

@sdsutton
@whygavs I appreciate it. It's my 3rd game in right field in the big leagues. Tell them to give me a break I'm right field. Still learning

@whygavs
@sdsutton Oh man, now I feel like a jerk! Just keep doing what you're doing and ignore me. Last night was amazing. Not gonna forget it soon.

@whygavs
Today's goal: don't offend the hero of the game on twitter.

Is it the column about Jerry Meals? With the awesome McKenry picture?

 

[pixburgher66]

It's about Clint Hurdle's gem of a quote before the game about why Burnett has taken to Pittsburgh: "He's loved now. Norm used to like it when he walked into Cheers, too."

Hurdle is a brilliant wordsmith.

I still have an extra ticket to the Pirates game on the 21st. Marlins, fireworks night, great seats...and I guess my friends don't love me *sob*

Yes, that one. It was the Hurdle quotes I wanted you to see.

Can the Nationals start losing some games? Mets with a great win after a 9th inning rally. Baseball is a lot more fun when your team plays well.

Are the Pittsburgh Pirates in First Place?

That is all.

Karstens tossed quite a gem today. That's two good starts in a row for him. If he's back to last year's form, this staff is in fantastic shape.

Yessir...and honestly, toward the end of the season if things are in good shape, I'd consider going to a four man rotation and bumping Correia to...I dunno, somewhere. The guy is just hittable. SO hittable. I'm not sure they're going to make any moves at the deadline. COMPLETE sellers market right now...prices are sky high, and personally, I'd like to be competitive for years to come. Heck, Marte may be our big move.

Justin Wilson is touching 99 in his AAA starts. He, Locke, or Owens could provide additional pitching depth.

And I don't think Bedard could handle regular short rest.

Good point. Bedard hasn't been very solid his past few outings. Can't expect JMac outings from everyone though. The fact that the bats are picking up the slack is what's encouraging.

Reds-Padres tied at 1 through 8.5. Padres up in the bottom of the 9th. Come on you drunken, Jesus lovin', bat wielding, baseball playing men!

 

[pixburgher66]

Grandal with a leadoff double! No out!

 

[Darkstone42]

I'm going to the D-Backs/Dodgers game tomorrow. I'm leaving work early so I can see Kershaw pitch.

BASES LOADED NO OUTS!
