I meant to mention this when the Braves in Pittsburgh last weekend, but as a manner of exacting justice on the Braves for pillaging my childhood dreams, I have claimed Francisco Cabrera’s Baseball-Reference page, presumably for all of eternity, in the name of Pittsburgh Pirate fans.
Tonight in Atlanta, Zach Duke and Derek Lowe take the mound as the Pirates try to right their currently sinking ship that’s now dropped six of their last eight. Tonight’s first pitch is not at 7:05 or 7:10, but the old-school starting time of 7:35 at Turner Field. Clemente/Cangelosi is after the jump.
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.
As tends to happen on Charlie Morton days, there was a lot of point movement yesterday with quite a few people picking up two points on Morton’s latest disaster start and the few final believers losing another point (seriously, I think I might be winning this thing if not for Charlie Morton).
Yesterday we had a first (I think), with Jeff Clement’s three hits tacked an extra vowel on the end of his name to make him the Clemente. Unsurprisingly, no one picked him or the Clemente runner up, Ryan Church. A few people did pick up a point on the runner up Cangelosi, though, which was Jason Jaramillo.
