    As Pittsburgh Pirates fans are forced to endure yet another season of losing baseball under penny-pinching owner Bob Nutting, one look at the moves happening on the South Side of Chicago is enough to make them turn green with envy.

    After a few up-and-down, injury-riddled months, the Tanner Rainey experiment is officially over in Pittsburgh. The Pirates designated the right-hander for assignment on Monday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Ronny Simón, whom they claimed off waivers from the Miami Marlins. The Marlins designated Simón for assignment last week, along with first baseman Matt Mervis.

    Pittsburgh Pirates veteran Andrew McCutchen made history Sunday against the San Diego Padres, hitting his 240th career home run as a Pirate to tie franchise icon Roberto Clemente for third place on the club's all-time home run list. In the top of the third inning, McCutchen drove an 81 mph curveball from Padres right-hander Randy Vásquez 365 feet into the left field seats at Petco Park with an exit velocity of 104.7 mph.

    In terms of pitcher reactions, Pirates fans would probably prefer to see their aces so filled to the brim with anger that they can't help but sputter and burst, as opposed to Paul Skenes' recent blank stare heard 'round the world.

But he certainly was done with the man behind the plate, who took the Pirates' rally into his own hands (as umpires so often seem to do these days).
