Absolutely great performance by AJ. Fuck yes! Fun to have an Ace, and a stopper. There have been a lot of stories this year on this Buccos squad, but AJ's is certainly one of those stories, and one of the greats.

Fuck blue. That should have been a No-No, but those are the breaks.

Bucs squandered a lot of opportunities, but did enough offensively to carry the game, thanks to one of the best RBI machines in the majors, Mr. Neil Walker to you.

Fun to see Snider in the lineup tonight. He looks like he can be a good one, all around.

We'll likely see our new lineup vs LH pitching tomorrow.

C'mon Jeff, let's get out of town tomorrow with the W and the series W.

The Cubs' starter ... LH Travis Wood ... tomorrow has gotten racked up pretty bad in his last 3 starts ... 9 HRs total ... 5 in his last start ... with a double digit ERA. He's probably praying for the wind to be blowing in.

My wife and I on the floor laughing at AJ's comments.

I love that AJ Burnett is a Pittsburgh Pirate. He is the ACE! He is a mentor to the young guys on the staff. After Cutch, I say he's the team MVP right now. Now, JMac and the others - get your shit together!
