Pittsburgh Pirates(21-31) @ Cincinatti Reds(25-29)

The wind was blowing out today as 5 homeruns were hit but the wind didn't shift the Bucs way in an extra inning loss to the Reds. It was back and forth until the bottom of the 9th with a 7-4 lead and it all went downhill. A few hits and then the biggest play was Andy LaRoche's error that made it runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out instead of it being 1 out and a runner on third down by 2 but both of those runs scored to tie it, it was Capp's 2nd blown save this year and his ERA is now 4.24. Wlademir Balentein ended it in the 11th with a walk-off double off of Tyler Yates.

Reds win 8-7 | F/11

WP: Bray(2-2) | LP: Yates(1-2)
HR: Reds- Bruce(17, 18) Votto(6) | Pirates: McCutchen(5) Jones(10)

Rolen: 2-4, RBI
Bruce: 2-5, 2 HR
Hernandez: 2-5
Owings: 4.1 IP, 5 R

McCutchen: 4-6, HR, 2B
Doumit: 3-4

Milledge is taken but you cna have Bixler, he's in AAA though

Moss is lonely on the Pirates. He misses Clay Buchholz. His performance will dramatically increase to that of a solid number three hitter if you trade for Buchholz. Ohlendorf would also like to play for the Red Sox. Make of that what you will.

hmm. I'll think about Bucholz. It'll take me 1 or 2 good players to get him though btu I can try somewhere in June or July

My Client, Zach Duke, thinks that this team is good, but needs some good pitching to be really great. Also, he wants to know his stats and to play a game with him as the starting pitcher.

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:45 pm

I'll play a game with him as SP soon

And stats go up soon too

Trade Bixler and Ohlendorf, add up to five thousand points. Save. The deal should go through.

Ryan Doumit wants another power hitter to complement him, and Milledge wants more steals.

Pirates Stats and Standings through June 1st

McCutchen wins Rookie Honor
Pirates OF Andrew McCutchen was announced as the May Rookie of the Month for the national league as he batted .360 with 4 homeruns and 21 RBI's in the leadoff spot for Pittsburgh.

Looking into May
May was an odd month but not good as they went 10-18 but the odd thing is that they went 13-18 in April but in May they scored 2 more runs that last month(122) and gave up only 5 more(133) and still ended up doing worse than last month

Jones is all he's gonna have for now, I don't have the players to trade for a power hitter
and plus this teams in "rebuliding" mode

I tried and it only had 1 star and I'm not gonna save and load alot for it
But Bixler and Ohlendorf aren't having good years so thats probably why

PowerPro Jr · **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2009 3:19 pm

fair enough. Doumit wants his teammate, Brandon Moss, to develop his power skills.

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2009 3:19 pm

I got his power up to D power, I hope that that helps a little
