Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals – Game 30
Before we get started I would be doing you, my loyal readers, a disservice if I didn’t at least bring this up. Couldn’t happen to a bigger group of scumbags. So last night’s baseball game was kinda exciting huh? How about that freaking Rod Barajas jacking the game winner? I will take some credit for [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals – Game 29
When people say that the Pirates can’t spend money, or that they aren’t just one player away I chuckle a bit. Those same arguments could have been made about the Nationals. The difference is that while the Nats drafted well, they ALSO spent money on the big league club. Can you really succeed without doing [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds – Game 28
It seemed like the Pirates had more than six hits last night didn’t it? Must have been the six walks. The biggest thing to take away from last night was yet another encouraging outing from James McDonald. If the Buccos want this series they will have to win two games in a row. Something they [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds – Game 27
Well that wasn’t much fun. I get why Correia went seven, but he definitely wasn’t good. I don’t know what he can do, but he needs to find a way to K more batters when he needs it. First Pitch: 7:05 PM EST Where to Watch: Root Sports, MLB.TV, FS-O Mike Leake, RHP [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds – Game 26
Yesterday’s game featured some action by an All Star infield. Thankfully it also featured EriKKKKKKKKKKK Bedard. These games with the Strikeouts have been such a pleasure to watch. I can’t say enough how much I love guys who can miss bats. The bullpen locked it down with a nice inning from Jared Hughes, a so-so [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Game 25
I’m not sure if it’s time to panic yet or not. Okay it isn’t. The pitching has gotten rocked as of late but before we bury these guys let’s remember that they have been very good for longer than they have been very bad. Every pitcher has bad outing. It happens. First Pitch: 1:45 PM [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Game 24
That was not enjoyable. The good news is that the Pirates still kept the bats going. The bad news is the pitching fell apart. Charlie Morton. Not good. Jared Hughes. Not good. Tony Watson. Not good. Brad Lincoln. Good. You aren’t going to win too many games in which you give up nine runs. You [...]
