Looks like rain ...

... but the Dodgers haven't been rained out all year, so why start now? It's really not that gray, just enough white clouds to block out the sun, with some blue sky peeking through the cracks. I mentioned this last year, but it bears bringing up again: PNC Park might be the most beautiful spot in the majors, even on a cloudy day like today, and even when it's mostly empty, which I'm guessing it will be tonight. This isn't really a baseball town, which is a shame, because they have a beautiful ballpark. The entire Pittsburgh skyline forms a panoramic backdrop beyond the outfield and across the Allegheny River, with the Roberto Clemente Bridge and an identical bridge a block to the North (I believe that one is just called the Seventh Avenue bridge, but don't quote me on that) in the middle. ... By the way, Cory Wade now has the second-longest streak of batters faced without giving up a hit (24) in the majors -- second only to Carlos Zambrano, who you may have heard threw a no-hitter yesterday.

Andre back in the line up and Blake playing 3rd for tonights game?

For some reason, I'm slightly nervous that the Giants will make a tiny run for first...call me crazy.
