Morning Dump 5/28





- Well, it's settled, it's a Cup rematch against Detroit. Last year we went to Detroit and played like we were just happy to be there and got blitzed. This year feels different. A year older = a year wiser, unless you're this guy.

- Cup schedule here.

- Steady Dan gave the Pens a well-deserved day off. They'll look at film and practice for sure, but they know what they have to do against Detroit and it starts with not letting them park freely in front of the net.

- Did you guys know that Crosby and Malkin have been playing really well?

There will be a ton more as we get closer to Saturday.

- On to the Buccos, who lost in Chicago yesterday afternoon. The bullpen kinda threw up on themselves yesterday again. If you haven't seen Zambrano's ejection fit, check it out here. He got his money's worth.

- Really though, you gotta feel for Zack Duke. He's having a great season so far. He's getting no support though. He's getting less help then a Katrina refugee. Check out just his games pitched on the trip to Chicago: 15 IP's, 14 hits, 4 ER, 10 K's... and he came out 0-2. Sad.

- So Capps won't go to the DL. Surprising. I guess this is teeing up an excuse for him when he comes out and blows up his next couple outings.

- God Pirates' news...when you don't spend on the payroll, you've gotta spend on the draft coming up. The Pirates aren't gonna be Johhny Moneybags or anything, but they appear to be trying to draft the best player available.
