Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Pirates at Marlins (7/27)

We get our first look at Zach Duke. And no, that's not a typo above in his ERA. Not only has he been off to a great start, but he has a great name. It's simple, clean, and sounds cool. No, he's not my next man crush.

Don't go getting all excited if the Marlins get a runner or two on against Duke. That seems to be par for the course. Part of Duke's success so far has been the ability to pitch himself out of the trouble that he's gotten himself into.

As an added bonus, Ismael "Exxon" Valdez makes his first Major League start of the year tonight.

The media love continues; I'm sure that many of you read about SBNation and sites like FishStripes in the latest issue of Forbes (there's a semi-annoying welcome page that you have to click through to see the blurb).

EDIT: I'll be at the ballpark tonight (actually, the whole rest of the week), so Craig is in charge. In case isn't here, the inmates can run the asylum. Just try to keep it semi-clean.
