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…

Locked in and Cutched out
Jeff Locke delivered another dominant start, and Andrew McCutchen had a role in all three Pirates runs in tonight’s 3-0 win over the Dodgers. What else is there to say about Jeff Locke?

Pedro bombs Miller Park twice as Bucs take game two

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…
