Pedro bombs Miller Park twice as Bucs take game two
The Pirates must have listened to my recap and pretended they weren’t in Miller Park today. Or maybe they forgot they were in Miller Park. It’d be difficult to find another explanation for today’s 5-2 win, backed by two Pedro Alvarez homeruns and a stellar start by Jeff Locke. The Pirates jumped on Brewers starter…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 49
I don’t even know why I bother with these Miller Park previews, the Pirates never win. I’m not sure it matter who pitches or anything. Burnett pitched great but to no avail. What will Jeff Locke have to do tonight to win? A complete game shutout? Probably not. He’ll have to hit a homer too.…

Pirates’ Miller Park woes continue
The Pirates were 29 and 18 coming into tonight’s game in Milwaukee. The Brewers were 18 and 27. The Pirates are obviously the superior team, yet Miller Park continues to give them problems.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs – Game 46

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs – Game 45
Late post today. Sorry I was fishing, gotta problem with that, bub? That’s the great thing about blogging. Such fluid deadlines. Another great thing about blogging is that I can interject any personal feelings I want to into my posts. I can mention whatever I want. I say that because there is no witty segue…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 44
To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. There is a very real argument that the Pirates should be on the verge of being swept by the Astros. It reminds me too much of last year when the Pirates were amazing against the challenging part of their schedule but fell apart once it let up.…
