I think The Pirates are trying to give me a heart attack.In the last week we have lost 2 games,And won at least 1 with the 9th inning implosion,Or the Heroics of a player who up until this point has done hardly anything to be considered a role in any victory.Saturday's game saw Zach Duke take the mound,Although he might not have had his best stuff,Duke went 6,Giving up 4 runs on 9 hits,And only striking out 2.But the best news from Duke was no walks allowed.Xavier Nady drilled one of the longest home runs in Oriole Park history giving the Bucs a 1-0 lead,The Bucs would add on another run in the fourth with a Freddy Sanchez hr.But the O's would battle back to tie it up in the 5th,And go ahead in the 6th with a 4-2 lead.That was the score until Jose Bautista hit a 3 run hr to make it 5-4.Of course John Grabow looks to be reverting back to his "matches" days,And gives up a 2 run home run,O's back up 6-5.Adam LaRoche would come up to bat in the top of the 9th,And hit a 2 run hr off Orioles closer George Sherrill ,Score now 7-6 Buccos.But Matt CAPPS first pitch to Oscar Salazar,Who has not hit a home run in almost 5 years!,Now we're tied at 7.After a Freddie Bynum single,And a stolen base,Catcher Ramon Hernandez hit a line drive to center. Bam,Gone.Drive home safely.Final score 8-7 Orioles.During the 9th inning of that game Right Fielder Xavier Nady was running for Ramon Hernandez's foul ball,And ran into the wall in the right field corner.After a 3 or 4 minute delay,Jason Michaels entered the game to replace Nady.The Bucs will have Nady undergo an MRI in Pittsburgh on Monday to make sure everything is ok. On to today's game,Paul Maholm worked effective innings,And Nate Mclouth hit a home run,And also made a spectacular game saving catch in center as the Bucs survived another Matt Capps implosion,And a Jose Bautista error in the 9th,To pull off the 5-4 win.And today's hero?Adam LaRoche,Who's 10th inning single drove the winning run home. Dale Earnhardt Jr won the Sprint cup race in Michigan,Ending his 76 race win less streak,And here's your headline of the day, Yankees' Wang sprains foot in win.. sounds painful..
