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. 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…

E-stros help Bucs walk it off
Maybe a win against the Astros should have been easier and faster, but in the end the Astros handed it over. An error allowed the Pirates to win, 5-4. It was a weird game all around, one that saw Brandon Inge play 1st base and a homerun into the river. Jeanmar Gomez started for the…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 41
The last time the Pirates won back to back games against the Brewers it was in a span of two series. The first win came on August 24th, 2-0, the second win came on September 26th, 9-8. You have to go all the way back to July 2010 to see the last time the Pirates…

What Happens When You Compliment Clint Hurdle
Earlier today I gave Clint Hurdle a ton of props for his bullpen usage against the Brewers. The Pirates really managed the bullpen well last night. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 I’d imagine the only unavailable pitcher last night would be Morris. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 Hurdle will only get backhanded…

Number 22 gives Pirates win number 22
Last night, everything went the Brewers’ way. Tonight, the Pirates caught their share of breaks and did what they needed to get to the 12th inning and win, 4-3, on Andrew McCutchen’s walkoff homerun. The win was the Pirates’ 22nd of the year; it’s fitting that number 22 won the game. Early on, tonight’s game…

Pirates take advantage of Marcum to get win
The Pirates faced another struggling pitcher tonight, and this time they made him pay. Shaun Marcum lasted only four and a third innings, and Wandy Rodriguez gave up just one run as the Pirates won game two of the four-game series, 7-3. When Marcum struck out the first two batters he faced and then got…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets – Game 35
When the Pirates had a chance Hurdle had other thoughts. He pinch hit for a pitcher that was cruising in the seventh and then effectively took the bat out of the top four batters in his lineup. Starling Marte sacrifice. Idiotic pinch hit for Travis Snider. First base open? Cutch isn’t getting a pitch. Who…
