The Pirates ended a 5 game losing streak tonight against the Astros. As I Pirate fan, I'm just glad it wasn't a 10 game losing streak. Here's a drink to a 16th consecutive losing season!

Here's a drink to a 16th consecutive losing season!Haha the thing that amazes me about the Pirates is how they consistantly lose but still manage to have an awful farm system. Someone in that franchise is not doing their job.

"from a fantasy perspective i had a wtf! moment earlier when i saw Kershaw getting the start for LAD tommorrow. @ COL is a good way to break him in softly...Yeah why not. I don't really understand why they are bringing him up though...As a Dodger fan it just moves him closer to Salary Arbitration and his command didn't seem to be major league ready in his last outings. That said he is still probably the best available starter in any league right now
I think I'll start him just for the hell of it (H-T-H)."

Mike Aviles has been a great fantasy performer for me since I picked him up. Hooray for scrappy white guys.
Also, how's Captain Cheeseburger doing up in Milwaukee?
"pyromaniac said:nah they never beat the big unit..still though Rich harden did an excellent job and thats all I care about. As long as he is healthy the cubs rotation is fucking solid. They got big Z as their number one and he is awesome, harden at number 2 is almost like overkill, he could be the ace of many a major league team. Dempster can't be stopped at home(10-1)..ted lilly can be a poor man's number 2 and marquis would be solid at number 5. Throw in relief pitching by Woody and marmol and yeah the cubs look good and dont even get me started on the offense lol."Cubs baby cubsThey win today?

"Go Nats!"What do you think about all the players coming off the DL soon? Life will be better with Zimmerman back haha
"pyromaniac said:Sean Gallagher has looked great in Oakland though. Trade is working out well for both sides so far."Cubs baby cubsHell yea. Harden is doing amazing, too bad when he pitches, we have no offense. The whole Cubs pitching rotation is pretty amazing.

Ned Colletti's gotta go. Its a shame to because that would be Evans, DePodesta, and Colletti---three GMs--in a 5-6 year span. Geesuz!

"I'd post more but as a Mariner fan I don't really have anything more to say. Our team sucks the fat one this year."You can complain about trading Adam Jones for Erik Berdard.
"IHeartUnicornsAndRainbows said:The thing that makes Harden great also scares me..he looks a lott like Mark prior a couple of years back..both are power pitchers and both have a longgg list of injuries. Lets hope he turns out better than prior did. Also lets not forget that we still have Rich hill in the works..he took a step back this year but he should be able to contribute soon."Hannibal said:That's true about Gallagher, but in my opinion I'd rather have Harden.

You see these A's trades and they always provide immediate returns for the other team then wind up benefiting the A's in the long run. I wouldn't count them out of the Harden deal quite yet.

I was talkin' bout CC. Big man carries a big bat, and a good arm.

CC has been doing really well. 2-0 so far two complete games if I'm not mistaken. NL switch has done him a lot of good me thinks.
