Odds and Ends

Needless to say I haven't been as excited to post lately...Ramirez is out again, maybe to return Friday for the Pittsburgh series if we're lucky. Zambrano hurt again and will miss atleast another start. Lilly started a rehab assignment and should be back in a week or less. Gorzelanny is now hurt and will be out a week or so...where does it end? Samardzija has been terrible and is now sent down. We had to resort to calling up a guy with a 4.15 ERA and a 5-10 record! The only bright side-Milton Bradley has finally started hitting. That and a fairly week schedule coming up, but I feel it slipping away. Here's a look at the Pirates series that we better sweep!
