The old 50-pitch save.

Nice win. It certainly wasn't easy. The Pirates kept getting men on base, but they just couldn't drive them in as they stranded 12 base runners.

Total klassik rawk fireworks

We won. How about that!

Wheels are off, they can be put back on. At least we didn't lose any hubcaps.

So we couldn't see who if anyone was ready to take over for Reed if Polancos ball traveled a few more feet.

Gzelly did ok I guess, he has a winning record now if you can believe it but the Pirates aren't that good.

We had an 8 am Baseball game this morning so Lunchpail was falling asleep by the 8th.

The fireworks were a long commercial for the upcoming concerts. I booed the Blinkin Park show show offending the folks sitting in front of us.

The Classic East show seems redonkulous I'd totally go but we're leaving for vacation that day.

I don't like Walker anymore but he's still doing good things every so often but Cabrera is terrible.

Our neighbor Gary is the biggest Pirates fan I know and saw on Facebook that today was his birthday. During the game he got a bday greeting on the scoreboard.

Has anyone ever had a thicker ponytail than Venus?

A quick search shows tickets running minimum $324 to a max of $17,322.

Man, does Irving Azoff know how to separate empty nesters from their money.

So when Matz and/or Lugo return, who goes to the pen? I'd keep Gsellman in the rotation because he's keeping them in games and move Harvey's fat arse out there.
Later

I would too, but I'm not sure what to do with Harvey. Does he go to the pen? Do they trade him? Release him???

This is a surprising development, but Harvey is looking like a guy who might be non-tendered in the offseason.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Matt Harvey, Closer, might be an interesting experiment.
