| March 6, 2008 Tom Gorzelanny threw a first pitch strike to only one of nine hitters on Thursday and he allowed five runs, all earned on two hits, two walks and a hit batter.

| March 2, 2008 Tom Gorzelanny tossed a scoreless inning Sunday, giving up one hit with no walks and no strikeouts.

"It's good," Gorzelanny said on MLB.com. "It felt fine today. It was a productive outing. I am just trying to keep getting in shape. But that's why we're here, right?" Gorzelanny had shoulder problems towards the end of last season, as well, so despite the fact that he says he's fine, this is not a good trend. Keep a close eye on him. |
| February 28, 2008 Tom Gorzelanny will miss his scheduled start Thursday because of what the team is describing as shoulder tenderness, this according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
