Bottom of the 2nd

I hope the lights bring something or someone to McKechnie Field. Hard to believe this place is dormant for more than 40 weeks out of the year. It's too nice to sit here empty, to only come alive for about five weeks out of the year. Besides, I need another excuse to sit in the press box and take in the view.

As for the game, Luis Rivas laced a pitch off the wall for a triple, which rivals only the suicide squeeze for the most exciting play in baseball.

In typical Pirate fashion, he triples with two outs, so the Buccos still need a hit. McLouth doesn't deliver, as he goes down looking.

1-0 Pittsburgh.
