7 HR today. When was the last time that happened?

Maybe I'll stay home the next two games. I'm 2 for 2 ... probably shouldn't push my luck, especially with Pelfrey and Correia coming up.

That sets it up so that if the streak gets broken tomorrow we can blame you either way - you changed the routine, or you pushed it too far.

The alcoholism is probably from Churchill.

 

Apparently catching a minor league game tonight, I missed out on some epic game thread conversations. But I did get to see Stolmy Pimentel and Nick Castellanos playing tonight.

 

Have to say that while Pimentel seemed a bit wild (hitting a couple of guys), he was still throwing 95 late into the night. He's not on Sickles Pirates top 20 lists, but he'd be pretty big upgrade over some of our AAAA type guys, and he's 23. I wonder if we could pick up a guy like him in a post waiver trade.
