Some stuff

Charlie revisits Chris Shelton, which I've been meaning to do for a couple days but haven't got around to. I suppose I don't really have to, as his name is literally on the lips of every Pirate fan everywhere. Still, I'll do my bit and toss one more log on the fire: through April 6, Shelton's hit four homers, while we've hit five.

Tonight we face Eric Milton out in Cincy, though I think the weather may be bad again. If Craig Wilson doesn't get a start... I dunno. I checked the ESPN preview for lineups, but they aren't up yet and there's some rambling piece about us turning to Duke for our first win. I'm pretty sure they meant Maholm, as I hope Tracy hasn't lost his mind just yet, though it would be entertaining to watch it if it did happen.
