The Meek Shall Get Sent Away



The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated Rule 5 pick RP Evan Meek for assignment,Once Meek clears waivers,He can be offered back to Tampa Bay for half of the original claiming price of $50,000,Or they can work out a trade,But there's no reason to believe a trade would happen.Meek leaves the Bucs with a 6.92 ERA,12 walks,7 k's,And allowing 7 HR's in 14 innings work.RP Sean Burnett has been called up from AAA Indianapolis,And should be at Nationals Park for the finale of the series with Washington.These are the kind of things that would have never happened under the Capt's watch the last few years,And maybe the cutting of Matt Morris,And Meek being waived will send a message to the rest of the team,Don't perform up to a standard,You could be sent down,Or sent away!The Bucs lost a close one Saturday,9-8.The Bucs fought back 3 times,Bu the rally would fall short.Jose Bautista continued his scorching series in the Nations Capitol,Going 3-4 with 3 rbi's,And another HR.Ian Snell tips the rubber for Our Bucs this afternoon.The Pittsburgh Penguins drop the puck against the Rangers at 2pm,Here's hoping the series ends today.And finally The Kentucky Derby was won by Big Brown,Sadly after the race,2ND place filly Eight Belles broke both her front ankles,and had to be euthanized by injection on the track.
