BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Brandon (Phillips) got us on the board, and that's big against a guy (Jeff Karstens) who's been pitching like that ... That was the first time we've had a first inning lead in a long, long, long, time. That was big to get the two runs quickly.

Jeff Karstens can pitch ... I’ve had him for several years, and the guy can pitch. Last year, he had some bad luck early and he just never got it together again. When you’re out for so long, it’s like spring training again. We all know what he’s capable of doing.

said Brian Schneider
Ian Snell is starting in place of Jeff Karstens, who was pushed back a day due to a 'dental procedure.' He can be added to the long list of injured Pirates: Tom Gorzelanny was pronounced out for the year yesterday, capping off a miserable year for him. Jimmy Barthmaier will come up, keeping the 6-man rotation intact.
