I apparently pissed Adam LaRoche off when I called him the worst off-season acquisition in the NL Central at mid-season. He now has 2-run bombs in back-back games against the Brewers.
Adam, I apologize. You weren't the worst off-season acquisition in the NL Central. I was wrong.
Now please go back to being that .200 hitter that we all enjoyed during the fist half of the season.

Turned out he hit 2 bombs today. God Doumit.
In the interest of full disclosure, shouldn't you have noted that he is on your fantasy team?
I just want to know how the Pirates have such a bad record. It seems like every time we play them they look like a pretty good team. I know Snell & Gorzelany have been pretty good so far, they play great defense (I think they have something like 100 consecutive errorless innings), and Bay & Sanchez are definitely good on the offensive end. I don't want to sound like John Kruk or anything, but they've definitely got talent.
Pittsburgh is currently 2nd in MLB in field%, 2nd in double plays turned, & 3rd in fewest errors comitted. Apparently defense DOES NOT win championships....but it does win a series VS. the Brewers. The 4 E's the Crew committed on Tuesday would be like 3 weeks worth of errors for Pit. It would seem like you need to take advantage of the Pirates' bullpen or at least dodge Gorz&Snell to beat them down, and other than Damian Miller nobody from Milwaukee really did that too well. Again, I don't mean to keep talking about the crappy Pirates, it just surprised me that a team with that poor of a record has decent starting pitching (Top half of MLB) & great defense.
