    Like to see Bailey throw a gem here and end the season well. Nice to see the A lineup, for the most part.

    Even though it's Sunday and week 4 in the NFL, chat is open for the final game of the season.

    Pirates 1st:

    Lead off single to right by McCutchen. Bruce hustles to cut the ball off and hold McCutchen to first.
    Andy LaRoche strikes out swinging at a curve ball.
    Garrett Jones lines a single the other way to left on a full count.
    Milledge flies to Stubbs in center.
    Moss flies to Nix in deep left.

    Bailey struggled a little in the first. Took 25 pitches to escape with no damage.

    Poor John Fay barely said hello in his 2nd inning segment. 7 more innings like this please.

    Good question by Marty. If we bunted Janish with 0 outs and Stubbs at first in the 1st inning, why not there? Flyout to right.

    Single for Votto. 1st & 2nd for Brandon.

    Janish is a black hole in the two spot. Surely, Dusty and Walt know this. What gives? No one else to bat there I guess. Another question is why he wasn't bunting now when he was in the first. Questions, questions.

    Janish is very good defensively. They showed that he leads all NL shortstops in fielding percentage. Not bad in the newer defensive metrics either.

    No doubt and that makes him valuable--but not in the two hole.

    George Grande not coming back next year. Wow.
