It really sucks that we are rooting for a tie. I keep thinking this team is going to snap out of it, but it sure seems like what they snapped into was this. Which is sad.
I guess there is always next year.
I’m just sick of there always being always next year.
First Pitch: 1:10 PM EST
Where To Watch: Root Sports, MLB.TV, SNY
R.A. Dickey, RHP (37)
This might be as okay with a Pirates loss as I’ll be. I’ve always loved the knuckleball, and I’m an R.A. Dickey fan. It’ll be cool if he gets 20 wins, just hopefully not against the Pirates.

He sure had his way with the Pirates earlier. And he really hasn’t slowed down. He has two complete games and an ERA of just 2.32 in his last ten.

His numbers have dipped a bit in the second half, going from amazing to really good. I don’t like the Pirates chances.

Kevin Correia, RHP (32)
Getting down to the nitty gritty in regards to Kevin Correia’s career with the Pirates. Does anyone see an encore? Even mutual interest? I can’t imagine either party is enamored with the other after the whole bullpen incident.
Has he been alright in the second half?
| Split | W | L | G | GS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Half | 5 | 6 | 4.34 | 16 | 16 | 91.1 | 92 | 46 | 44 | 14 | 27 | 35 | 1.303 | 3.4 | 1.30 |

Sure. It just sucks that he really can’t have a full good year. He has been with the Bucs for two years and has two good half seasons. He has basically been a replacement player, for $4 million.
Correia has four straight quality starts, no doubt he is firing on all of his cylinders right now, he is probably the main reason the Bucs have a chance in this one.
