2. That cast-off Rockies manager is doing good for you?

Oh wait... anyone would be an improvement.

Say, where are all the Pirates All-Star candidates? The Rox' Tulo is leading in the voting for shortstops and Cargo is getting some votes. Actually, I think Todd Helton should be in there. He's having a great year.

3. Tough Wednesday for Pittburgh's Chris Snyder...

his wife was attacked while Snyder watched helplessly from the car. The story:

PITTSBURGH -- A man attacked the wife of Pirates catcher Chris Snyder in a traffic dispute while Snyder sat in the car, unable to get out because he'd had back surgery, police said.

Investigators say Carla Snyder and the scooter-riding man, Subhash Arjanbhi Modhwadia, nearly collided Wednesday. The 44-year-old Modhwadia followed her to a gas station, kicked the vehicle and swung at Carla Snyder. Authorities say he ripped a mirror off the car.

A passer-by and an off-duty police officer subdued him. Police say Modhwadia bit the bystander and threw punches with keys between his fingers. He also took off his shoe and threw it in their direction before being subdued.

SNIP

Modhwadia was charged with aggravated assault, assault, criminal mischief and driving with an invalid license. He is being held on $25,000 bail.
