Hadn't really been following the Pirates this year, so looked up Burnett so far and he's got a pretty respectable 3.61ERA. However, he allowed TWELVE earned runs in 1 start..... in his other 9 combined he has a 1.96ERA and only allowed a combined 13 earned runs.

It's nauseating to see "DH" next to Damon's name on the lineup card.

A microcosm of Ubaldo's season in the first.

Looked great for the first two hitters then a base hit when behind 2-0 followed by a four pitch walk and a 3-1 count to the #5 hitter.

Got out of it with a nasty looking curve though.

Drooooobs gets a hanger!!

Don't knock the Kotch

[dazindiansfanuk]

Fuck you Ubaldo!

We tie it up and then you fall behind and give up a hit followed by a hanging shitball for the 2-run HR.

I wonder what Chris Perez expects us to think when we watch this guy.

I wonder what Chris Perez expect us to think about Shelly Duncan.

How long is it going to take for them to ship Sipp out?

The guy is a walking, talking firebomb of suck.

[Pabo]

I can't believe Sippy Cup actually got someone out. Not sure why Manny has such a man-crush on this dude.

[dazindiansfanuk]

7 times this year Sipp has given up at least 1 run whilst pitching less than an inning.... that's 26% of the time.

He's allowed a run in 41% of his outings overall.

It's mid June and he's got a 6.95ERA

You can't keep trying to fix this guy in the major leagues indefinitely!

[skatingtripods]

He's allowed a run in 41% of his outings overall.

I knew he had been bad, but wow, that's a staggering number.

Best part about it is how he acted pissed off. Like he gave a shit. He's just happy to get a paycheck for being terrible at his job.

[LakeErieWarriors]

Sipp, Duncan, Damon, Pronk, Sizemore, it's ridiculous how many players are on this team getting paid that just really don't belong.

Tribe outscored by the Pirates 18-9 over the course of the series. I was there on Friday night; it was GREAT. You look at the results from Saturday and Sunday, and it's like how the fuck could a team be so hot/so cold on a day-to-day basis?
