Game 150: Padres 3 Pirates 0

Did you know we just got shut out by the Patriots back-up quarterback's brother (and some other dudes with less interesting back stories... and Trevor Hoffman)? That sucks. John Van Benschoten had his best start in recent memory for the Bucs tonight, 5 innings, three runs, 5 hits, two strikeouts, one walk. That's still not very good. Thinking about next year's rotation gives me the chills. Clearly, the Bucs are just playing out the string right now. Once that 82nd loss fell, things haven't really looked up since.
