In what should be the last trade prior to the deadline, the Pirates traded John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny to the Chicago Cubs. In return, the Pirates have acquired right-handed pitchers Kevin Hart and Jose Ascanio and infielder Josh Harrison.
Just hours after Jack Wilson was shipped to Seattle, Freddy Sanchez was traded to the Giants.
In return, the Pirates received Tim Alderson, a right handed pitcher who was highly regarded within the Giants’ organization.
Word is now that Grabow and Gorzo could be dealt to the Cubs. 1 more day til the trade deadline.

Virgil Vasquez gave up 7 hits and 3 ER in 6 innings, and that was more than the Pirate offense could muster. The Bucs scored just 1 run on 6 hits in tonight’s rubber match against the Cubs.
Tonight was the first we saw Joel Hanrahan in a Bucco uniform. He pitched well in 1 inning of work.
Garrett Jones also made his first appearance since being recalled from AAA following the Morgan/Hinske trades. He went 0-4.

Given the trades that took place today, I did not expect the Pirates to play well in tonight’s game, but all in all, this was probably one of the best games the Pirates played all season.
Ross Ohlendorf was fantastic, striking out 8 and allowing just 4 hits in 7 innings. Grabow and Capps sealed the deal.
Freddy Sanchez went 3-3 with an RBI.

Zach Duke allowed 7 hits and 3 ER in 7 innings, and that was enough for the Cubs to prevail.

Rubber match this afternoon.
Post Game Update:
Grrr… there’s not much more frustrating than a 2-1 loss…. especially when that loss comes at the hands of Mike Hampton (2-4, 5.63 ERA). Pirate batters went back into their shell, as they got just 4 hits tonight.
Nate McLouth led of the game with a solo home run, and that was the last time the Pirates would touch home plate.
Paul Maholm pitched well, but it’s tough to pitch well enough to win when your offense provides just 1 run.
Prior to today’s game, Donald Veal was sent to the DL with a strained right groin. Steven Jackson (newly acquired from the New York Yankees) will be recalled from AAA. Word is that Veal being placed on the DL could just be a convenient way for the Pirates to hold onto Veal without keeping him an active member of the bullpen. Since Veal was a Rule 5 pickup from the Chicago Cubs, Veal must be kept on the Pirates’ Major League roster.

Post Game Update
Locked in a pitchers’ dual, the Pirates trailed the Cubs 2-1 in the 7th. Nyjer Morgan singled, but advanced to 3rd on Alfonso Soriano’s error. Carlos Zambrano threw a wild pitch, scoring Morgan. Zambrado did not agree. He exploded in anger, was ejected by the home plate umpire, and he ended his day by destroying a Gatorade machine in the dugout with his bat.
Still, it wasn’t enough for the Bucs to get the series win in Chicago. Reed Johnson homered in the bottom of the 8th, and that was enough. Cubs won 5-2.
The game did reveal a weakness in my Retrosheet scoresheet. Version 2b was unable to handle a substitution following a preplay event. I will post version 2c this afternoon.

This game was a no contest. The rain almost served as a mercy rule and kept our bullpen from entering the field. Try again tomorrow.

The Pirates stay in Chicago and move across town for 3 games against the Cubbies.
Happy Memorial Day!

The Post Gazette reported today that the Pirates haven’t shown interest in extending the contracts of Adam LaRoche, John Grabow, or Jack Wilson past this season.
Ryan Doumit is progressing. He hopes to be back on the field sometime in June.
Matt Capps was hurt by a line drive to the elbow in the 9th inning. Hopefully he’s OK.
Freddy Sanchez went 6/6 tonight.
The Pirates have 24 hits in the last 2 games.
