A different Wells on the mound at PNC E-mail
Written by Pat Lackey

Joel Hanrahan and Jeff Salazar should be in the house at PNC tonight, giving the Pirates a full 25-man roster to battle Randy Wells and the Cubs with tonight. Virgil Vasquez gets the start for the Pirates. Garret Jones will make his Pirate debut in left field and Brandon Moss will move back to right (I would've kept Moss in left, personally), but other than that the lineup is unchanged for the Pirates tonight.

Jack Wilson, meanwhile, is sorry for his critical comments after the trade yesterday. I'm happy to see that, because they were pretty unprofessional and while Jack can be a bit self-righteous from time to time, he is a class act and it's nice to see him take this upon himself without any prompting from the organization.

What mediocre talent that we've traded away can I blame that home run on?

Good to see Jack's apology. These trades he's hated have produced the following current Pirates: Jeff Karstens, Ross Ohlendorf, Andy LaRoche, Brandon Moss, Charlie Morton and Joel Hanrahan -- not to mention soon-to-be teammate Lastings Milledge and another potential few in the next two seasons. The trades have also allowed the promotions of Andrew McCutcheon, Garett Jones and Jeff Salazar.

Bitching about these trades is merely throwing his new teammates under the bus. Stitch it up and exhibit some veteran leadership.

Claudete oris.

Garrett Jones is batting 3rd? Brandon Moss batting 4th? Jose Vazquez batting 6th? Could tonight's lineup have won this year's College World Series? No.

Moss is actually in the 5th spot. Not any better though.

Wilson obviously graduated magna cum laude from the Kendall/Giles Institute of Negative Leadership.

I tried to listen to this one on the radio, however, the radio station that's only 15 miles away doesn't have the strength to get all the way out here on the south side of the county. And yet somehow, here in Iowa I was able to get KDKA loud and clear...

I was able to get the 5th inning, where Santo and Hughes talked about how Wilson was upset about the trade. They both thought it didn't make sense that they traded away all their good young talent with "lots of baseball years left".

I said out loud, as though they could hear me, "but Lastings Milledge could have even more and better years left than Nyjer and Burnett do"
