Salute to Salty [Pirates 7 Marlins 4]
raisethejollyroger.com — What a post title! Even better, Morton Salt’s motto: “When it rains, it pours.” Perfect for this game, which was interrupted by two delays (one of which was in fear of rain, the other was actually due to rain). Anyway, Charlie Morton was lights-out tonight. Every single ...

Rain and blown leads [Mets 9 Pirates 8]
raisethejollyroger.com — I was hoping for a quick, relatively ordinary game today. It was a 12:35 scheduled start and I had work at 5:00 (and it would take 45 minutes to get from place to place). This game was far from ordinary. Or quick. As soon as we had bought tickets (college student discount FTW–good seats ...

Nondescript loss [Cubs 4 Pirates 1]
raisethejollyroger.com — There isn’t much to say about this one. The most interesting thing that happened was Lou Piniella’s ejection in the 6th inning. Virgil Vasquez started for the Pirates and allowed a majestic 2-run shot to Derrek Lee in the first. After that, he was fine, but the 2 runs would be all ...

raisethejollyroger.com — AAA Indianapolis (37-40) lost 9-7 to Toledo on Tuesday. Brad Lincoln had his first rough outing in a while. The bad news is that he gave up 6 runs in 3.2 innings, but the good news is that only 3 of those runs were earned. It rarely happens, but he just got hit hard, for 6 hits including a home ...
