Clint Hurdle knows who he is......The Boston Red Sox traded us for a catcher~Micheal McKenry. He was a 4th round pick
with the Bsox when Hurdle was with the organization.

No info available on what we traded. Mckenry is in the lineup tonight.

the Pirates have acquired catcher Mike McKenry from the Red Sox. McKenry, 26, is hitting .274/.369/.421 for Class AAA Pawtucket, and he hit .265/.328/.424 last year for Class AAA Colorado Springs, which is a great place for hitters. He's supposed to be strong defensively, so there's that, and he's probably slightly more likely to hit than Dusty Brown or Wyatt Toregas.

The Bucs will give up cash or a PTBNL. They have designated Toregas for assignment.

-----------------

And I have to say....gooooo Boston Bruins game 6 tonight of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Safer to say it here then in the hockey thread. Too many Canadians there rooting for Vancouver for win their first ever cup. Shhhhhh.

McKenry has soft hands, lots of balls have been getting by him. Kevin Correia had his own catcher (chris snyder who had back surgery) so maybe it's just getting used to each other. Good game overall, Pirates had eight hits for 5 runs, holding off the Orioles who had ten hits, kept it close with 4 runs. Hanrahan got his 20th save!

Baseball is starting to catch on here (we have had a major league record of 18 straight loosing seasons) this year we are at least playing 500 ball. 34,000 showed up Tuesday night (ball park holds 38k) and a typical Tuesday gets 18 to 22k.....and a week day afternoon game gets around 12k (I've been there when 3,999 others and me were there) Yesterday 25,377. It's so much more fun with people in the stands!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend.

$9.35 in loose change.....and 41, one dollar bills. I've been moody because We did not go to Cleveland to see a game this weekend. Although the Pirates have been getting beat, I love the Indians just as much. How is it that *theres too much to do around here, than drive to Cleveland*? (2 hr drive)

Some ones priority list needs re-evaluated.

I need a manicure. And maybe some retail therapy. Yes, I'm acting out....and posting about it.

What's happening in the world of baseball? I haven't heard about Posey since I saw him get picked off at home, and then our own Ryan Doumit right after that (Ryans' ankle is busted).....Ryan said it was not a cheap shot, it's part of the game.

ETA: there is talk of moving the Pirates into the American League.....Hmm. I think it's fair to say it's all just talk. I would like to see us be put in a division where we could reasonably be able to drive to some away games. That's not asking for a lot.

Hey! SF is playing the Indians here soon! I was thinking about going to one of the games.

Posey said about as much about his injury, but, the GM of the Giants shot off his mouth about the incident in a negative way. There was no animosity between Posey and the guy that smacked into him- so I don't get what's up with the GM other than having a key player out. Ugh, a broken ankle. Yup, one can get hurt on the field.
