No idea why the Pirates and Mets are playing at 1:10 today, but they are and that means I can't watch them. Paul Maholm looks to make some headway after his last good start was wasted against the Brewers and he'll go against John Maine, who's off to a pretty rough start this year. Both today and tomorrow are pretty favorable pitching matchups for us, so hopefully we can steal a win here.

A few quick notes from the Trib: Adam Melhuse was signed and sent to AAA to provide some depth at catcher with Doumit out, Matt Capps might pitch today, and Jimmy Barthmaier is getting TJ and will be out for the season. That's pretty rough news about Barthmaier; I thought he was pretty intriguing last year at AAA and was hoping maybe he'd push for a rotation spot if Karstens was struggling this year. That will obviously no longer be the case.

More proof that Maholm is no ace of a staff. You have to be able to play the role of stopper...

Maybe we can get Moss to pitch and have Maholm bat 5th.

Gees. This offense is atrocious. Final line says 5 Pirate hits to 17 Mets hits.

Talk about the Pirates being a summer series of bad Twilight Zone episodes. What's wrong with this picture? Milwaukee's pitcher homers, those asswipes win 1-0. OUR pitcher homers, we lose 10-1. Ya know, I almost regret noy kicking and screaming a little the day my parents took me out of school to go to a doubleheader at 3-rivers; I actually regret ever starting to watch Major League Baseball. I wish I knew what it felt like to not give a shit about sports. I could sit and list all the shit I hate that has happened or happens in futility. I can take NO MORE! 1 run on a HR by Milwaukee's pitcher and that's the only run of the game, a HR by OUR picther, and the other team gets a 0 beside their 1. NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!! Just another dark section of my shitty, meaningless life!

I meant "My kicking and screaming" not "noy". I truly do regret ever seeing the Pirates in person.

This is why I'm glad I never got excited about that little amount of time over .500, because then I'd be mad about this team reverting to normal. I wasn't letting the Pirates tease me this year.

Beavis: Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair. We've traveled, um, a hundred miles 'cause we thought we were gonna score. But now it's not gonna happen. Damn it!
Bus Driver: Hey, buddy, sit down.
Beavis: Shut up, ass-wipe! I'm sick and tired of this. We're never gonna score. It's just not gonna happen. We're just gonna get old like these people, but they've probably scored!
Bus Driver: Hey, I'm warning you. Sit down!
Beavis: [motioning to Martha] It's, like, this chick's a slut! And look at this guy, he's old, but he's probably scored a million times!
Old Guy: [nodding] Oh, yeah.
Beavis: But not us! You know, we're never gonna score! We're never gonna score! We're never gonna score!

Beavis, clearly a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Now I know how it feels to be a Detroit Lions fan.

Except they're out of their misery after 16 weeks. We have to trudge through 162 of these travesties.

Worst franchise is pro sports history? Here we come!
