Has anyone mentioned that the Pirates are two games over 500 and 2.5 games

[madinmaryland]

ahead of the Rockies?? If not, then I will.

Oh, btw, I'll figure out later how many games ahead of the Marlins the Pirates are. Where is our "resident" Marlin fan???

1. It's a long season

however it seems Rockies need some rotation help.

[Auggie]

2. Hey Jon... I didn't know the Rockies needed depth at 2nd base

Mark Ellis? Good with a glove but struggling with the bat.

[El Supremo]

3. It's more for the second spot in the lineup.

We needed a starting pitcher so we got a second baseman. And we have to send someone down, probably Chris Nelson. He was great in the Springs but a bust in Denver. I hope Ellis starts tonight against KC. We'll have a good look at him.

Look for a pitcher trade next week.

4. A hit on his first at bat!

We sent EY Jr. down too. And brought up a reliever.

5. And now a homer!

5-0

8. 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs...

:wtf:

Where the heck was this is in Oakland?

9. He was wearing Troy Tulowitzki's spikes.

The only ones he had were white. The power was in those shoes!

6. Not anymore! 58 yr old Matt Stairs hits a game winner

off the right field wall. Nats win! Now at .500! Actually both teams defying all the 'experts' this year.

7. Nice win. My daughter, 14, who hates sports, asked me how the "Natinals" were doing as we had the .

game on. I did a :spray: and then asked her why she calls them the "Natinals". She said "Nationals" just doesn't sound right.

I had nothing to do with that!
