Still here...

We enter the top of the seventh inning here at McKechnie, where the crowd is leaving in droves. Understandable - it's only 73 degress with a cool breeze, sunny, and no sight of rain whatsoever. Why anyone would want to be outside on a day like this is a mystery to me.

The Pirates are still down 4-0 to those Braves, and have turned to tall lefty Donnie Veal, who earned the win Wendesday here against against the Phillies.

Wish I had something witty to say about Donnie's last name, but I'm empty. Drawing a blank. Sure, the lefty's surname makes me hungry, but that's all I got. Feel free to send any funny quipps my way.

Veal cruises through the top of the seventh, and is rewarded with a warm smattering of applause.

4-0 Braves.
