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…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs – Game 63
Congrats to Russell Martin on his 100th career home run. I hope that little kid they gave the ball to enjoys it. If you missed it yesterday a post mortem on the Penguins. Bill O’Brien snagged himself a quarterback too. Now. I’m no PSU fan but I must say Bill O’Brien has impressed me in…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 50
Pedro Alvarez was responsible for more runs than the Brewers yesterday. Too bad this guy sits for Brandon Inge and his .560 OPS on a semi-regular basis. I mean, who needs a power bat in the lineup against righties at the home run haven Miller Park? There is a very real chance that if Pedro…

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…
