Stop the presses: Eldred doesn't homer (oh, and Pirates win)

The Pirates actually won a spring training game today, beating the Twins 5-2. Tony Armas Jr. and Marty McLeary each threw three solid innings and gave up a run apiece and the stars at the plate were not people that will particularly impact the Pirates this season with Mike Ryan homering and driving in three runs and Don Kelly and Mike Edwards picking up the other ribbies. Jason Bay was 0-for-3, but it was his first appearance of the spring. I'd hope we can keep the "Bayrod" comments to a minimum (kidding, guys). And now that we've got a win, I can go back to paying attention to these games at my own leisure.
