Another damn afternoon game

Avert your eyes Pirate fans, Shawn Chacon makes his debut tonight. So for the ex-Pirates have all made stellar debuts for their new teams, Sean Casey hit a homer (not a typo), Kip Wells pitched five not awful innings and got a win, and Craig Wilson went 2-for-4 with a run scored while the only new Pirate, the X-Pirate if you will (pause for groans), is 1-for-8 though he's played some pretty decent defense at first and has hit some balls hard that the Braves have turned into outs. I don't expect Chacon's debut to be much better, but semi-pitcher's park, the NL is worse than the AL, yadda yadda yadda.

EDIT: Curious lineup today, Duffy, Bautista, Sanchez (SS), Bay, Randa, Nady, Castillo, Cota, Chacon. Chacon predictably gave up a run in the first, but the Pirates have scored 2 in the bottom of the first on the strength of three (3!) stolen bases in the inning, two by Duffy and one by Bay.
