Seriously? Other teams have called the Pirates to inquire about trading for outfielders Jason Bay and Xavier Nady , but management is not prepared to move either -- or any primary contributor -- until it rules out contending in 2008. The Pirates are seven games back in the standings already, and they have the talent of a 70-win team. If teams are calling and asking about Bay and Nady,...

Zach Duke vs. Odalis Perez in the Nationals' new park at 7:10. Just a quick note -- Dejan Kovacevic is a great reporter, but I hate that he keeps repeating this: By any reasonable measure, the Pirates' acquisition of Xavier Nady for Oliver Perez two years ago from the New York Mets has been a toss-up, fair and square.
