Two things that are incredible to me ... * Since July 19, the Pirates are 30-27. They've done this with 2 starting pitchers. * The Pirates have not lost 3 games in a row since July 15-19.

Why is Joe starting against a righty? Suwinski is already tired and needs a rest?

I saw that.



Hope it's feeling better. We need him out there when it counts.

Sore thumb.



Geez, at some point he has to take Ibuprofen and get the hell out there.
