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. Houston Astros – Game 42
Wow Pirates. The earliest they’ve ever won four, four game series in a season. EVER. Even more awesome is how it was done. Against the idiotic Brewers. Three straight. The last time the Pirates won a three game series against the Milwaukee Brewers was July 2-5, 2007. Interestingly they also lost the first game of…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets – Game 37
The Pirates basically have to win this game. I say this for two reasons. 1. They lost the first game of the series. Generally that has meant they would eventually win the series. 2. It just seems so right that the day after the Pens won their series with a team from Long Island the…

Duke Welker On His Way to the Burgh

With Jeanmar Gomez starting tonight he’ll be unavailable for a few days. Welker will take his slot in the pen.

Martin and McDonald Scratched
The Pirates have scratched Russell Martin from tonight’s lineup with neck stiffness. James McDonald has also been scratched from his start tonight with right shoulder discomfort. Jeanmar Gomez will start in his place. It sounds to me like this is likely due to a fist fight. Russell Martin got tired of having to block dirt…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 28
No history for the Pirates. No first place either. Awwww. Cheer up Panda. At least we have no Jonathan Sanchez also! I don’t even know what to say. I’m so damn sick of the Brewers. Even after Russell Martin caught them stealing signs they just murdered the Pirates. I don’t even want to watch…
