Damn Yankees


Well the thrill of beating the New York Yankees lasted just about 21 hours!Zach Duke lasted 5 innings,Giving up 4 runs,Keeping it within reach if the Bucs could mount a comeback,But recent call up TJ Beam would give up 4 runs in the 6Th,And Gasoline Osario would give up yet another in a 10-0 white washing of the home town Buccos.Not alot of bright spots in a game this bad,Jack Wilson was 3-3,But also had 2 key errors.Sean Burnett pitched a scoreless inning,But he'll probably be sent down to Indy tonight.Yankee starter Joba Chamberlain pitched 6 2/3 shut out innings for the victory,Giving up 6 hits,And striking 7 Bucs out.Same 2 teams are waiting a rain delay out as i write,Not sure if they will get the game in by the look of the radar.
Here's a real wild story about former Pirate pitcher ShawnChacon .Any readers of This Blog Will know that Chacon goes by another name,BP!Why you ask?Well if you Don't read my friend Shawn's blog,Chacon would always get the call out of the pen,And usually get knocked around,Like he was tossing Batting Practice for hitters,Hence the name.I heard about this story on my way to work this morning,And had a good laugh visualizing the whole thing in my head.It's a shame nothing was thrown in the struggle,No one would have gotten hit if Chacon threw it!And sadly this is the most fight Chacon has shown in years..
, Fresno State ,With Justin Wilson, whose eight-inning, 129-pitch effort on three days' rest had his teammates marveling after the game.
Wilson walked one and struck out nine in the longest effort by any pitcher in the 2008 College World Series.Wilson was the Buccos 5Th round pick in this years draft.
