Alford has as many HR's in this game as Polanco had in July and August combined.

But hey, GW and Shedman say Alford is worse than Polanco

See what happens when I turn the game on. This morning we were bad mouthing Alford. We should do it more often

Hoy Park has the same number of RBI as Polanco in August/September, and the same number of HR's

And just like that, Shelby Miller gives up a HR

Cubs retake the lead

That can't be right because Polanco had a higher salary and was therefore a better player.

Gamel has a tidy 0-4 with 4K's today

There you have it- bucs pick up Shelby Miller so he can ruin the comeback and lose #87. The countdown is on as the bucs have lost 4 in a row

Tucker has played a few games in a row now, and I think the second game with the Sox he had a couple hits. He had one hit today, but I have the feeling his time as a Pirate may end after the season. He has a lot of energy, and a great personality, but he just cannot hit under .200. He will probably come off the roster prior to adding the several rookies to protect from the Rule 5 draft.

He can't hit over .200.
