Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals – Game 30
Boy. That Andrew McCutchen really kills the Nationals doesn’t he? Cutch has eleven homers against the Natinals (not a mistake). The only team he has more against is the Brewers.

First off, why trade Casey McGehee if you’re going to put yourself in the precarious position of calling up Jeff Clement for the wildcard push? There is no metric on earth that would say Jeff Clement has a better…

Brad Lincoln Traded, Yinzer Meltdown Ensues
Where to begin? If you’ve been on the internet at all, especially twitter, you know that 93.7 The “Fan” and specifically Paul Alexander have been ground zero for idiocy and moronic baseball talk. This centers around the trade that sent RHP Brad Lincoln to the Toronto Blue Jays for left handed outfielder Travis Snider. Nevermind…
