Sunday roundup

It's a slow Sunday today, the day before classes start here at Duquesne, and things are just kind of drifting along. The Pirates are hoping to bounce back from a performance that looked like they cared as little about baseball on a night the Steelers had a preseason game as the rest of the city. They're going against some guy named Eude Brito as we speak. He's a lefty, Rowdy was wondering how Eldred would do against him, Brad answered with a homer in his first at-bat. Paul Meyer talks to Lloyd about the implications of having a rookie hit cleanup in the Notebook today and Charlie talks about the abusurdities of said article. Also of note, according to the Baseball America Prospect Report (free, and highly recommended) Brian Bullington won his 4th game in his last five starts, in which he has an ERA of 1.00. Maybe he's finally starting to turn the corner.

Also, for anyone from back home that's interested, Kennedy Catholic's own Nolan Reimold was recently promoted to the Orioles' upper level Class A affiliate in the Carolina League, the Frederick Keys. In his five games there, he's hitting .412 with 4 homers and 7 RBIs, giving all of us that played for the pathetic KCHS teams circa 2001-2002 hope that we can at least say we played high school baseball with a future major leaguer.
