    Perhaps, having sent Bay, Marte, and one other away, these Pirates will no longer the '27 Yankees to our Astros?

    2-7 versus the Pirates? Are they playing Stargell and Tekulve in disguise? :rolleyes:

    3 out of 4 with a conservative win from the rookie this season. Is this Arias kid any good?

    Brewers have a tough stretch coming up soon ... Gain a few over the next few days and it could get real interesting

    You guys might actually beat us now that we traded away all of our good hitters. ;)

    The Pirates scoring one run is pretty much considered a moral victory at this point.

    yeah, Brandon is suffering from brain stiffness. He hasn't given up a homer in a few days, probably doesn't know what to do.

    Is Arias REALLY this good? I mean, yeah with the Pirate factor involved you're talking a team with a .020 team avg, but still 5 k's thru 2 ip?

    Hey did you guys hear J.D and Brownie say that the Astros purchased the contract of Sacomonno (spell?) he has been really good this year for round rock and Aries is a beast i say we we keep him in the rotation see if he does anything

    Towles looks like he's lost none of his early season form

    What is Arias throwing and what's his velocity like on his pitches? I am stuck in a computer science dungeon at the moment.
