The Pittsburgh Series

Well, the Bradley incident has me just about as upset as I could be other than acquiring Pedro! I wish we could just send him home until someone would deal us a minor leaguer that we could send to Iowa and save Bradley's salary! He turns around and K's with a runner on 3rd and 1 out today! Soriano is getting to be a tired act in my opinion too. He can't hit or run, then his baserunning blunder the other day just about did it for me. Now the Cards pick up DeRosa! Why can't we make a deal and show we are in it and change some of this momentum? I loved Freel's reaction to being hit though. He moved way up on my list. Atleast we are playing the Pirates now. We send out Harden, Lilly, and Wells. Here are the match-ups and not necessarily how I want the lineup seeing I want Bradley out and Soriano not leading off!
