Yankees-Pirates, bottom of first

Pirates beat writers are discussing how the starting rotation might shape up the first couple weeks of the season.
Ian Snell is down to start the March 31 opener in Atlanta. Tom Gorzelanny will pitch two nights later (the teams are off April 1), setting the left-hander up to start the Pirates' home opener April 7 against Lou Piniella and the Cubs.
Matt Morris pitches Monday against the Rays in St. Petersburg -- he has allowed a staggering 29 hits in 13 innings.
Jack Wilson and Jason Bay both hit the ball hard this inning off Yankees right-hander Jeff Karstens, but both were right at outfielders. So it's 0-0 after one and if you're still interested in coming out, you haven't missed much (good luck finding a seat, though!).
