It's official

I think we can finalize it, Kip Wells has no real trade value to any contenders. He's not gotten rocked by the Yankees, Red Sox, and Nationals in his last four starts (and thew and average start in against the Cards for false-hopes sake). Also, Zack Duke should get his bags packed for Pittsburgh, Ian Snell pitched out of the pen again today and I doubt they'd start him on Saturday after a couple of 2 inning relief outings during the week, but then again, this is the Pirates. We have cut the lead to 6-4 though, making it entirely possible that the Nationals will win three one run games in a series where they never seemed like they were actually in danger of losing any of them.

UPDATE: I didn't see this earlier, it's official, Duke is the man on Saturday (via Leeeny).
