51 and 25 to be .500

*****Getting back to the Pirates, they are 30-56 as the All Star break is upon us. The Pirates are last in the league in batting average and 2 from the bottom in team ERA. Pedro Alvarez is showing some promise but needs to be somewhat more patient at the plate for he swings at some bad pitches. After 86 games, not one starting pitcher has a complete game. Could this be a major league record? *****Is the off season injury loss of Willie Colon going to be disruptive to the Steelers running game? You better believe it. Former OL Coach Larry Zeirlein called Colon one of the best run blockers in the entire NFL. The Steelers this year have a mandate to run the football and losing Colon will hurt. *****Just remember, when the first day of the month is on a Sunday, then that month will have a Friday the 13th. *****I have noticed that the BP Station near my home is way off in gasoline sales. I wonder why?*****With 20 days remaining until Training Camp begins, Pittsburgh will be without services of Big Ben(4-6 games), Willie Colon for entire 2010 season, Santonio Holmes traded to the Jets. Read back on my previous blog about Steelers signing Alan Faneca. It would look good now without Colon. Arizona OL Coach Russ Grimm still thinks he has gas left in his tank. He could play left OT and move Max Starks to Colon's slot or RT or move Trai Essex to RT and Faneca to RG. Too late now, he is with the Arizona Cardinals and who knows what will happen there.
