Well, well...what have we here? It seems Mr. Santana lost to the lowly Washington Nationals his last time around. That drops him to a dismal 6-6 record. I think the cheerleaders in the Santana fan club can take their pom-pons and go home in shame. It seems there are at least a dozen pitchers queued up ahead of him in the "best pitcher of the year" line.
Originally posted by rwingettHaren and Peavey are 1-2 in just about every pitching leader board you look at. They have both been impressive! Mr. Santana appears to be having a very un-Santana-like year! I'd still take him on the Pirates if the Twins are gonna' cut him loose any time soon😉😛
Wow, I'm impressed with Haren so far. 7-2, 1.58 ERA. I'd say it's him in the AL and Peavy in the NL.
Originally posted by ChaswrayYeah, I guess. If we suddenly found out he was playing for some independent minor league team, or something, I'm sure Detroit could find a spot for him in the bullpen. Right behind Jason Grilli, I suppose.

Originally posted by rwingettI'm sure Leyland and his boys could find a spot for a left-handed set up man😛 How do the fans of Detroit like Slick's (Andy Van Slyke)sense of humor? I always enjoyed him when he was patrolling centerfield for the Pirates in the early 90's. You guys have quite the ex-Pirate connection up there on your coaching staff!

Originally posted by ChaswrayThe Pirates have been rebuilding since those years, haven't they? 😛

Originally posted by darvlayThat's the front office line😳 We are headed for our 14th straight losing season😞 Best thing that could happen to the Pirates would be for Mark Cuban to buy them. Current ownership doesn't understand that you have to spend a buck to make a buck. Witness their recent first round pick in the draft. They didn't take the best available player (s) because of representation by Scott Boros. Instead with the fourth pick they take the fifth best pitcher available😲

A little trivia since we're talking pitchers and baseball:
Today is the 37th anniversary of the Dock Ellis LSD no hitter. June 12 1970, Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher, Dock Ellis no hit the Padres while under the influence of LSD. The only proof of his "condition" was his own admission some 14 years later.
