The new third baseman for the Phillies is Brennan King.
This sparks a Pittsburgh writer to respond, "Jeff King?"
It was done in jest, of course - Jeff King spent eight of 11 seasons with the Pirates, and was a member of the club that won three straight division titles from 1990-92. His best year in a Pirate uniform was '93, when he drove in 98 runs and batted .295.
Doug Mientkiewicz is thrown out trying to steal second. Hard to believe a speedster such as Mientkiewicz - 14 career stolen bases, including a career-high four in 2003 - is gunned down.
But give some credit to catcher Jason Jaramillo.
2-1 Pirates.
