Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Los Angeles Dodgers – Game 68
It was basically the Jeff Locke and Andrew McCutchen show last night. Locke with one of the better pitching performances we’ve seen from a Pirate, Cutch playing a role in all three runs. Clint Hurdle tried his best to take a clothes hanger to it but Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli were able to work…

Good News And Bad News
The good news is that Charlie Morton has been added to the roster. The other good news is that Jose Contreras has been unconditionally released. To make room for Charlie Morton on the 25 man roster A.J. Burnett was placed on the Disabled List with a calf strain. Releasing Contreras opens up the 40 man…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs – Game 62
Hey. The Penguins might have failed miserably. May have been an utter embarrassment. May be in a downward spiral. At least we can concentrate on the Buccos now huh? Huh? Yeah I know, but at least they are winning. Things might not look good for the Pirates now but Gerrit Cole is coming Tuesday. Well…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Atlanta Braves – Game 58
What a win yesterday. You could almost see that Garrett Jones homer coming after he struck out earlier in the game with men on. I’m pretty sure two people could have caught that ball. He had to have split it in half. Right back at it though, a plane ride to Atlanta and the grind…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Detroit Tigers – Game 53
Wow. What the hell was that last night? Maybe I should count out Jeanmar Gomez more often. If that’s possible. Brad hit up the Curve game last night, here’s some video for your viewing pleasure. So what is this? Is it a four game series or multiple two game series? That’s important. Judging by the…

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.…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 48
I called for an 8-2 homestand and the Pirates delivered. I will take credit for it. They must all read my work. Good job boys. Good defense, good pitching, few timely hits and the Pirates are magically 11 games over .500. They are also now just ten wins away from becoming the seventh team to…

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.…
