Pittsburgh @ St. Louis

| Maholm | Wellemeyer |
| 2-3, 4.79 | 3-1, 3.56 |
pirates try to reach .500 tonight; they haven't been at .500 this deep into a season since 2005, when they played .500 ball through game #60. they ended up at 67-95, in last place. the year before that they were at .500 through 46 games, 23-23 --- but still last in the nl central. they were tied with the cards, brewers, and cubs in the loss column at the time . . . . . went on to finish 5th that year, at 72-89.

How tall is Wellemeyer?
He always looks like a bohemoth on the mound.
go cards.

I bet he's more 235 at this point

Wow, worst case scenario!
Jimmy a cub? Never thought I’d see the day!
How can I root for Jimmy to do well now if when he does he helps the cubs?

it has already happened
“He’s going to hit ninth,” Piniella said. “I’m going to move the pitcher to eighth, and hit Edmonds ninth.”
Even though the whole situations burns my butt, it is nice to see Lou following Tony’s lead*

Oh man, for real?
Not only does he have to go play for them, where the fans treated him like shit for 8 years, but now he has to bat 9th? Say it ain’t so, Jimmy!

I read somewhere that he said he wanted to negotiate with the Cubs first
either that or that the Cubs were the only team he wanted to negotiate with, can’t remember. It was probably on here, but I can’t remember exactly where I saw it.

It is what was reported on Chicago Tribune Live
I was watching it before last nights game. They let him know that they were interested and to come to town for a visit.

Let's hope all three of them have a nice healthy competition
to lead the team in homers. I think any one of them is capable of doing it. Pujols weakness would be getting walked a lot and not enough pitches to hit. Luddy playing time, and Rick being streaky. should be a cool thing to watch
