There you have it. At last Bae at 2B and Peguero at SS. Let's hope Suwinski can handle the RH pitching today. I still question Endy's sitting today. He can't be hurt or tired. Go figure.

It's the Pirates' 11th commandment: Thou shalt not catch a day game after a night game. No exceptions. No rationale will be considered. After all, the Pirates prioritize resting over all else.

Possum's 11th commandment: Thou shalt not allow Endy to catch less than 5 games per week and that does not include days the Bucs don't play.

I'm listening to Brownie and BC on his Sunday show. BC is so full of shit! Would BOB even consider firing him, given the cost? If BC goes who would even dare to replace him with an owner like BOB?

Falter not doing too bad today. 39 pitches through 2 innings. Maybe he can go at least 5 innings and make BC and Schelty look some what smart.

Suwinski infield hit, pop the cork on the champagne.

Two called strike outs with a runner in scoring position. Never ends

Falter has faltered. So far not a good game by the Buccos.
