Clint Hurdle knows who he is......The Boston Red Sox traded us for a catcher~Micheal McKenry. He was a 4th round pick
with the Bsox when Hurdle was with the organization.

No info available on what we traded. Mckenry is in the lineup tonight.

the Pirates have acquired catcher Mike McKenry from the Red Sox. McKenry, 26, is hitting .274/.369/.421 for Class AAA Pawtucket, and he hit .265/.328/.424 last year for Class AAA Colorado Springs, which is a great place for hitters. He's supposed to be strong defensively, so there's that, and he's probably slightly more likely to hit than Dusty Brown or Wyatt Toregas.

The Bucs will give up cash or a PTBNL. They have designated Toregas for assignment.

-----------------

And I have to say....gooooo Boston Bruins game 6 tonight of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Safer to say it here then in the hockey thread. Too many Canadians there rooting for Vancouver for win their first ever cup. Shhhhhh.

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.
