  1. The difference between the Brewers and the Pirates in one at bat. Would our #3 hitter ever have a pitch sequence like Brandon Moss just had?

    Ball, Ball, Ball, Called Strike, Called Strike, Called Strike.

  2. Wow Gallardo is putting on a clinic. Nine up and nine down on 32 pitches.

  5. Jason Kendall is 1000% worthless. Why couldn't he have broken his leg?

  6. He really handles pitchers well. Calls a good game, you know. Gritty too. Fuckinay right he is, oh yeah.

  7. I am starting to develop an irrational hatred for Kendall. When can we finally stop having to watch this guy hit? Ben Sheets was less embarrassing with the bat.

  8. How is your hatred irrational? I mean, I don't hate Jason Kendall as a person. Could be a great guy. Salt of the earth. I just hate his complete lack of hitting ability.

    There is one additional problem that I have with Kendall's personality. His insistence on catching more than anyone else has almost certainly made him even more worthless at the plate.

  11. Yo hits a lot of home runs. Why on earth do we not have him bat 7th or 8th when he plays?

  12. 128 pitches and he's still in there? Wouldn't we be calling for Macha's head if he did this to one of ours?

  13. It is a crying shame this isn't on TV. I'd watch the FSN evening replay they do of day games to watch Gallardo throw this gem. Oh well.

  15. Thank you Pittsburgh Pirates. Thank you.

    But no TV? That ain't cool.

  16. This day keeps getting better. Now it's 4-0!

    Feels great to be above .500 again.

  17. The game was on MLB.TV, but the announcer was doing the game via video. It was really weird having no ambient noise in the background while he talked.
