A Night of Ingejustice in St. Louis
Jonathan Sanchez lasted, well, not an inning. He didn’t even manage to get an out. The Pirates found themselves in an early hole that only grew deeper as they were unable to climb out of it. Jonathan Sanchez started tonight’s game. He gave up a leadoff homerun to Matt Carpenter. Then he gave up a…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Atlanta Braves – Game 16
This post is late. The reason is what’s happening in Boston. I’m not going to lie, those things affect me.

Pirates’ offense falls short again
AJ Burnett pitched well, but the Pirates offense hasn’t woken up yet. Facing the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw didn’t help, of course. He pitched 7 innings and allowed just 2 hits. AJ needed 108 pitches to get through 5.1 innings, but he only allowed 1 run off 4 hits and 4 walks. That run came in…

A Cold Opening Day Loss
Baseball. It’s finally here. For better or for worse, the Pittsburgh Pirates are once again playing baseball at beautiful PNC Park. Even today’s rain and snow mix couldn’t keep away the crowd of 39,078 from watching their beloved (somehow, even if it’s too deep down to admit sometimes) Pirates. The Pirates rewarded their fans with…
