No game tonight, but there is some interesting news.

The Pirates officially anointed Frank Coonelly as the new CEO. He wrote an open letter to the fans on the team's home page

Tops on the list is the resignation of Terry Ryan as GM of the Twins. Supposedly he's doing it to take a scouting job within the organization, but it seems kind of fishy to me for a highly successful 52-year old general manager to scale things back for a lesser job within the org. I've got task #1 for Frank Coonelly already.

And you thought Pittsburgh was a sad baseball town...
