Snell up

After an entire year of trying to convince us that he's been aiming for a AAA Championship (I mean he actually made a trade to strengthen Indy that had little bearing on Pittsburgh, Ross for Furmiak), DL calls up Ian Snell to start tonight, the night the IL Championship begins. Snell had be slated to pitch the series opener, that spot will be taken by Bullington who was supposed to pitch Game 2. Gorzellany was called up to fill in Bullington's spot in Game 2 after his dominating performance for the now-elimnated Akron.

Also in today's notebook, the PG continues their quest to vex Jason Bay on his quest for the Major League record for stolen bases in a year without being caught (he's at 19, he needs 21 to tie). I would think this kind of streak was like a no-hitter, but everyone's talking about it. Me included I guess.

Duke has finally been cleared and will start in Friday's doubleheader at home against Cincy.

Fogg has been bounced back to the pen with Snell's call-up. Seriously, this should've happened months ago with either Fogg or Redman (who we don't have to worry about until next spring with his injured hand).
