OMG Baggarly hasn't posted the lineup!!!

Maybe all our players are DEAD. I’m frightened.

It’s a Correia start, he’s probably still looking for his enthusiasm.

by Merope on Sep 5, 2008 6:19 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Maybe he feels ashamed that his last post was about whether or not Aaron Rowand will win another gold glove. Ha!

He may have a chance if it’s just a golden GLOVE … he’s got none chance at a “golden arm”

by Merope on Sep 5, 2008 6:22 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Arm issues aside, I don’t think he’s all that great defensively. That’s based on observation, mind you, not numbers, because defensive stats are so far over my head they might as well be on Pluto.

With ya

been mentioned before, but a lot of the “spectacular” plays he makes are just routine plays that he breaks late on…

I wish...

But alas, this tidbit:

Finally a programming note: I’m not staffing the Pirates series; blog will go dark until lineups are posted for Monday’s game. Have a good weekend, everyone.

I guess I paid the price for not being bothered to read a whole post about Rowand’s defense.

lineup, minus funky capitalization

1) Randy Winn LF
2) Nate Schierholtz RF
3) Rich Aurilia 3B
4) Bengie Molina C
5) Pablo Sandoval 1B
6) Aaron Rowand CF
7) Emmanuel Burriss SS
8) Eugenio Velez 2B
9) Kevin Correia P

That’s right, kids, Rich Aurilia is our #3 hitter!!!!

Oh, good. Aurilia.

Farewell, Ray. We'll miss your smile and your sugar. Welcome, Steve Hammond "Eggs". Throw strikes.

We would’ve made a good #3 hitter in 2001, so naturally, it follows that he would still be, right?

Yeah

I don’t know about ’01, but definitely today we make a better hitter than him.

Augusta advances to SAL finals. S-K series is now 1-1. The S-K game was carazyyy

Skippy Barnes

The kid pitched another great game for the GreenJackets. What is SF going to do with all these talented southpaws?

by wilriv21 on Sep 5, 2008 7:05 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Trade them for A.J. Pierzynski?

Also, I wouldn’t have thought it possible to have a worse name than Madison Bumgarner, but there you go: Skippy Barnes.

Is Correia's job safe

OR has Bumgarner taken his spot in the rotation?

I doubt Kevin is all that worried about it.

True fact

The last time the Pirates had a winning season, Rafael Rodriguez was a newborn.
