The rain is coming E-mail

Doesn't look like there's going to be a game tonight, which means the Pirates will have to win just once in Cincy to avoid 100 losses.

I will, of course, update this post if there is a game, but in the event that there's not, I suppose we can bask in the semi-warm glow of yesterday's sweep.

UPDATE: They tried to play, got three innings in, and are back in a rain delay. And now we have to hope that they can get two more innings in, because Andy LaRoche hit another double and Lastings Milledge homered to help the Pirates to their 3-0 lead, and I would like those stats to count.

Regardless of whether the game is finished, I have been asked by multiple people to make sure that I point out that Kip Wells gave up a grand slam today. To Chris Carpenter. Honestly, I feel bad for the Kipper at this point.

Pat, I hope you mention at some point who Chris Carpenter hit his first career home run, a grand slam, against. It was ex-Pirate Kip Wells. That cracks me up.

What ever happened to Kip? He looked so good those first couple of year, then lost it.

Everyone knows that the shortest distance between two points is a Kip Wells fastball.

Steamin' Trey Beamon
I'm still heartbroken over my last-second playoff collapse. I was up 9-1 on Saturday and ended up tied 5-5 with the last place team and missed the playoffs by 2.5 games. Now the guy that finished 6th is going to win the league. Woe is me!
