I started feeling bad for Pitt. Hope we didn't blow our wad for tomorrow.

Buehrle went 8 last year with only 1 ER @ PIT last year (I remember that because I was there). Hopefully he can go 7 tomorrow with only 1 or 2 runs so we only need 4-6 runs of offense.

Swish is coming back around, and our offense is a little different look. If Wise can slap the ball around a bit, he could be useful down in the 9 slot.

 

 

Alexei is looking good as well. He keeps hitting, and running, catching everything.

Russel still needs to find a way to develop better secondary stuff (the slider he has can be good at times, but too often it flattens out a bit because of the arm angle he throws it from). Either way I love watching good arms throw (and he's got a good arm).

 

Awesome job by the offense to bail out Javy. Nice win Sox!!!!

Yeah I worry Russell's slider is like Dewon Day's in the sense it grades out well with the movement, but it's effectiveness is null and void to MLB hitters due to the arm angle it's thrown at often times. Hopefully I'm wrong though, I love his fastball and sink, as well as mound presence.

But Jas, the difference is Russell has some sink on his fastball. That could keep him around. Good velocity with sink plays well as a reliever.

 

As long as he throws strikes he will have a chance.

Wow is right.

I wish I could have seen this game on TV to make up for those 2-0 losses I seem to watch every time.

Kudos to everybody.

What hitting!

Keep it up.

But poor Carlos. Hope he feels good about his three walks, which he should. But still no hits from the slumping sensation.

So this is what its like playing Pittsburgh....

 

It's never a time to be cocky with the hot and cold bats of this team. Rox should have been a cakewalk as well.

 

Now, let's see them take the next two and I'll feel a little more upbeat going into the weekend – especially of TB can take at least oen more from the northsiders.

I believe he was referencing the fact that the Cubs have played the Pirates something like 9 times already this year.

 

Either way.. like someone said, nothing like playing Kansas City or Pittsburgh to right a ship.
