Dear Pedro, I wish you’d been at the at PNC Park on August. In all honesty, there was nothing terribly out of the ordinary about the Pirates/Reds game that night. It was a well-played 5-2 for the Bucs, which included another sparkling performance by starter Paul Maholm. Walking across a bridge to my car after the [...]

Pirates (57-72) at Brewers (75-55) 2:05--Miller Park, Milwaukee Paul Maholm (8-7, 3.64) vs. CC Sabathia (14-8, 2.99) [ Preview ] ---------- It's a battle of aces today at Miller. Unfortunately, Paul Maholm--great as he's been--doesn't appear to be much of a match for CC Sabathia, who is 8-0 with a 1.60 ERA since being traded to the Brewers. Yeah. 8-0, 1.60. Do 'ya think they're getting what they hoped...

-P- Tom Gorzelanny will start tonight against the Brewers; Paul Maholm and Jeff Karstens will each be pushed back a day. Also, Matt Capps should be activated today. The Trib reports that Romulo Sanchez and Nyjer Morgan are will be sent back to Class AAA to make room, but that doesn't seem right to me. If Morgan is sent back, then it's possible the Pirates' centerfielder the rest of this series could...

The Pirates are formulating a plan to satisfy Paul Maholm's competitive drive while protecting his left arm over the final five weeks of the season.

Two straight Monday afternoon games against the Mets. Two deficits. Two game winning hits by Steve Pearce. --- Pearce has been very unimpressive since his callup, but this makes two weeks in a row that he did in the Mets in the Pirates' final at-bat. - Paul Maholm was shaky early and gave up a run in the first (shocking, I know), but limited the damage and allowed just one more run in his 7 innings....

Mets (68-56) at Pirates (55-69) 12:35--PNC Park, Pittsburgh John Maine (10-7, 3.97) vs. Paul Maholm (8-7, 3.69) [ Preview ] ------------ Getaway afternoon game to finish up a pretty miserable homestand. We've been scoring runs all year, and four 30k+ crowds come out (Skyblast etc.) to see zero offense and four losses, leading to a season low 14 games under .500. It's understandable after all these...

Paul Maholm vs. John Maine , 12:35. I actually get to go to Pittsburgh for this one. Hopefully, I'll have a substantial update later today. Thanks for your patience. Things are crazy here, but this week looks a bit less crazy.

So, you finally bring up Chris Dickerson, play him the first game, he gets a hit and a walk, then you sit him the next night because he’s facing Paul Maholm?!?!?! OK, so you must have played someone else you need to get a good look at next year, right? No? Jolbert Cabrera? Oh, then [...]
