Seventh Inning

The Pirates have a comanding lead over the Philadelphia Phillies, up 8-1 heading into the seventh inning. The big blow came courtesy of Shelby Ford, whose three-home run highlighted Pittsburgh's four-run fourth inning.

Ford is a second baseman, and the No. 8 prospect in the Pirates' organization, according to Baseball America.

Man, are these Pillies paper champions are what? Seven runs down? This early into the preseason? Awful.

Yeah, I'm kidding.

It's spring training for everybody, including the Pirate staff - the guys in charge of the t-shirt toss have struggled with the slingshot all day, having a hard time getting the shirts past the first few rows of the stands. Of course, the crowd booed.
