REMINDER: If you’re interested in WHYGAVS Night or a WHYGAVS Shirt, I need to hear from you ASAP.
Can things get any more insane? Pedro Alvarez is 0-for-the-week, the team has dropped 12 in a row, and a pierogi has been fired for public dissension. If it weren’t so sad, it’d be hilarious.
But it’s what’s happening to the Pirates right now, and if the team could just get out there and win a game things might not seem so bad. Jeff Karstens makes his third start since the last Pirates’ win, which is all kinds of sad and scary. He faces David Huff, and the two can commiserate over being fellow Strasburg victims. Meanwhile, Huff is the third lefty the Pirates have faced in four games since Pedro Alvarez was called up. Just saying.
The first pitch is at 7:05. Clemente/Cangelosi is after the jump. I’ve got the captcha eliminated from the comments, so it should be easier to comment now. Let me know if there are still problems.
Not sure what this is? Check here and here. Short version: in the comments pick the Pirates you think will be most and least valuable in today’s game. If you haven’t jumped aboard yet, it’s been a lot of fun so far and now’s as good a time as any to join in.
A bases-loaded, three-run double by Ryan Church earned him the Clemente nod last night and that obviously earned a few of us negative points in the standings because people rightly expected Church to struggle. Since Brendan Donnelly was the Clemente runner-up, you can guess that no one earned points for Clemente picks last night. Actually, the only person to earn points at all was PHook4000 for his Ryan Doumit Cangelosi pick (Ronny Cedeno was the runner up) who has come all the way back from a hugely negative total (I think he may have been -7 at one point) to finally get his head above water with a +2.
