McKenry has soft hands, lots of balls have been getting by him. Kevin Correia had his own catcher (chris snyder who had back surgery) so maybe it's just getting used to each other. Good game overall, Pirates had eight hits for 5 runs, holding off the Orioles who had ten hits, kept it close with 4 runs. Hanrahan got his 20th save!

Baseball is starting to catch on here (we have had a major league record of 18 straight loosing seasons) this year we are at least playing 500 ball. 34,000 showed up Tuesday night (ball park holds 38k) and a typical Tuesday gets 18 to 22k.....and a week day afternoon game gets around 12k (I've been there when 3,999 others and me were there) Yesterday 25,377. It's so much more fun with people in the stands!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend.
