Last Home Game of the Year

It's the last chance to see the 2011 Pirates play in Pittsburgh this year.

Good news is that James McDonald is on the mound for his last start of the year. I expect J-Mac to dominate today and finish the season strong. He's been inconsistent for the Pirates this year, but all-in-all I am encouraged to what he showed us this year. It's hard to say that one start is more important than another, but it would be nice for McDonald to finish the season on a high note today.

Here's the rest of the lineup:

1. Alex Presley (L) LF
2. Josh Harrison (R) 3B
3. Andrew McCutchen (R) CF
4. Derrek Lee (R) 1B
5. Neil Walker (S) 2B
6. Ryan Ludwick (R) RF
7. Chase d'Arnaud (R) SS
8. Michael McKenry (R) C
9. James McDonald (L) P

Wish I were there, looking forward to next year in a big way but it's sad to know that I have seen the Pirates play for the last time until next April.
