Today's links include another dramatic Pirate loss, Altoona vs. Pettitte, a former Pirate finding a new team (and the Pirates signing another pitcher from the waiver wire), an update on Max Starks, Big Ben's Hampton HS experience, and much more.
Pitcher James McDonald, necklaces dangling, had his best start as a Pirate, pitching seven shutout innings to help the Bucs knock Atlanta out of first place in a 5-0 win last night at PNC Park. Would it be wrong to call this one regular season win revenge for both the 1991 and 1992 playoffs?
