San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates, May 8, 2008 9:35 AM PDT


I know some y'all college types are just getting ready for bed, but you should try and stay up for the game.

When was the last time the Giants were about to be swept by the Pirates...and deserved such a fate? That's just a cryptic way of saying it's been a while since the Giants have been markedly worse than the Pirates. Probably since 1992. Was there one single event that marked the downfall of the Pirates and the rise of the Giants after 1992? That's a question for the philosophers of the future..

Will have a couple extra MPH when you don’t pitch every 5 days. I predict in two starts his velocity will be back down where it was before and continue dropping.
