today would have been a good day to start Tsutgo at third, Moran in right and Park at first.



Another missed opportunity to check on defensive flexibility.

Okay, maybe I'm playing fast and loose with "possibly." :)

Just a recap while I was out toodling in the yard:



Yoshi rakes. WHAM!!! Anothah Homah!!!



Brubaker gets pulled with no outs, 2 on bottom of 4th and I think he had started pitching to the next batter when he came out for injury. Howard came in, gave up an RBI single and 2 RBI groundouts.



Pirates top of the 5th score 5 with a bases loaded walk, a bases loaded HBP, a wild pitch, and a 2RBI single.



Cubs get one back on a HR.



So far, Brubaker has come out for injury, Underwood Jr. has come out for injury.

Alford now has as many RBI in the first 4 games of September than Polanco did in all of August

Pirates can't do anything to a pitcher with an ERA of 9 plus
