Delwyn Young (Era) doubles -- now hitting about .512. 2-1 game.
Phils announcer guys busting Pirates' chops in a big way.
Schneider makes another out.
To the 5th we go.

Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

J. C. gives up another leadoff double. He stinks.
Two groundouts score run -- smaller ball. 2-2.

If they find some arms, it's not hard to imagine the Pirates being competitive in a year or two. McCutcheon's great, Alvarez is great, Tabata can hit a little, Walker's okay.

Phils go quietly into that good night in the 5th.

Pirates playing large ball as Neil Walker launches an 0-2 pitch into the stratosphere. Two run bomb. J. C. not sounding good here.
Doumit doubles. Big kids are out of school and tuning up J. C.
Grilli up in the pen. He's big.

i just want to say thanks for being you.
Your welcome.
Speaking of being him, here's what BP said about Grilli in the '09 Annual:
Now more than a decade removed from being the fourth overall pick in the 1997 draft, Grilli never turned into the stud people expected out of college, but slowly, very slowly, he's developed into a pretty nice reliever. Every year he gets a little bit better, and he enjoyed a career best campaign in 2008, despite the transition to Coors after being traded by the Tigers for pitcher Zach Simons (and despite his ex-manager slagging him post-trade). He's slowly transformed into a pure power pitcher, sitting at 93-96 mph with his fastball and complementing it with a sharp slider. He's finally arbitration-eligible and in line for his first decent pay day, and he's well worth it.
Who knew?
And Howard walks!!!!!
Here's something you don't hear every day -- "Larish in to pinch-run."

Tony Watson pitching now for the Bucs. Hitting him should be elementary.
d'Arnaud with a throwing error. Two on, no out for Ben the Great.
Ben hit it a long way but caught on the warning track. Speedy Larish takes third.
Joonior up.

Between what could be a shaky pen and our brilliant starting pitching, we might win 100 games and still lead the league in games lost after the 7th inning.

Lidge is in. He's known as "Lidgey" by some.
Gets one out.
Pitching to then immortal Corey Wimberly. He walks. He's a runner. EZ into second. Steals third too.
Small ball failure -- grounder to 1B, no advance. I guess Ligey is throwing mostly sliders.
Some guy flies out to end the threat.

Delwyn rockets one past "Doc" Watson. He's got three hits and now batting over 1.000 I think.
Schnieder off the schnied with a ground single to set the table for Galvis.
Contreras in the Bullpen.
Smallball sac bunt for Freddie.
Mike Martinez singles a run home. Pinch runner Tuffy stops at 3B.
Martinez thrown out at 2B on strike 'em out throw 'em out DP. Moss was the strike out victim -- called.
