No. But he had a no-hitter through 2!
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He had a no-no into the 4th, and he's winning 6-2. Why, is Pierre 5-for-5 or something?

And, btw, I admit to having an unhealthy pride in our former farm system guys. It's stupid. But I still like Juan Cruz, Nolasco...I'm even hoping for a miracle with Dontrelle.

All those guys can eat a dick -- including Pierre. Scratch that -- especially Pierre.

Nolasco's become a very good pitcher but also struggled his first 2 years with them, and was considered a mediocre prosepect by most everybody when he was with us. He also might be our 4th or 5th best pitcher right now, so it's not the end of the world. Would I love to have him? Absolutely, but this is one I have trouble faulting the GM too much for.

Wainwright left up 2-0 with 1 out in the 6th, Josh Kinney came in and got one out, but then walked Paul Maholm. LaRussa was -furious-, took him out of the game. Then Nyjer Morgan with a 2-run single to tie it. 2-2 in the 6th. Fuck you Cardinals.

All hail Nolasco and his 6.00 ERA.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] Sabathia had a miserable debut for the Yanks. Just got pulled after 4.1, 6 ER, 5 BB, 0 K and he's still responsible for all three guys on base.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

6 earned runs! Hank must have some serious heartburn.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance

Oh, I wasn't faulting Jim. At the time, I even <i>liked</i> the trade...we needed a CF and we needed a leadoff guy. It seemed like Pierre was pretty good, from a distance.

Too bad we <i>still</i> need a CF and a leadoff guy. But I certainly don't fault Jim for rolling the dice. Go Jim! Go Cubs! 90+ wins in back-to-back years!

4-4, 4 runs, inside the park homer, 2 RBI, 3 SB. That's against his former team too.

Hanley Ramirez fantasy owners will be pleased, as well.
