We had a request for Chicago or Strawberry Alarm Clock lyrics today. I couldn’t find anything appropriate for the occasion, but I did learn that Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Ed King was a founding member of Strawberry Alarm Clock, which I would not have guessed.
Anyway, the Padres were supposed to win the games Brandon Webb isn’t pitching so they wouldn’t have to beat him to take the series. Oh well, I guess now they have to do it the hard way.
What else is new?
ball game.
LETS GO PIRATES
Now, to root for the Buc’s rally…Sanchez is on 1st with no outs in the 8th…that is a start…
Have a good night all…GO BUCS!!!
Let’s go Pirates
also I have been idly watching this chat tongiht, but I wanted to say
Walker with bases loaded 9AB 8RBI entering today so I thought that was interesting.
keep that NL West lead. and with 10 games to go this race should be good.
I’d like to see the Bucs win in 16 innings. just so they use all their arms before tomorrow’s game.
1st and 3rd with 1 out..
Ryan Doumit, you’re on notice. Two K’s with a runner on third and less than two outs in today’s game.
Doumit at least got ejected.
Chris Duffy is freaking on fire of late. If the Pirates could ever get his head on straight and get him to want to keep playing there, he’s a nice piece to have in that lineup.
Pirates lose. Magic Number still 10.
A little off topic but there’s a great article at BTF about Oliver Perez:

Nice illustration of how a small change (and a good pitching coach) can make a big difference.
Better watch out, Jim Tracy is coming to town.
