Only in my wildest dreams did I believe the Bucs would get the solid starting pitching this season that they have. Of course, in my dreams, Charlie Morton and James McDonald would be the aces, and the other three (whoever they were) would have a combined ERA slightly above 4.00 and give us a chance … Continue reading
Every time I think the Bucs can not find a new way to lose the Brewers, they do it. The frustration of the losing to the Brewers is reaching new levels. The only solace one can find is you expect it. You know it is coming. You do not know how they are going … Continue reading
Andrew McCutchen reminds us of his importance to the offense. He set the tone by walking in his first plate appearance, stealing 2nd, and scoring in the first inning. He ended up hitting a HR, driving in two, scoring four runs, and stealing two bases. Amazing. With the lack of a player who can carry … Continue reading
Hope is unbroken. A win sure does feel good. If former Bucco Ryan Voglesong had beat the Pirates, it would have been more than I could bear. The Pirates got a good effort from all phases of the game with timely hitting, solid fielding, and excellent pitching. I was a little surprised Charlie Morton went … Continue reading
(Looks like until this losing streak is over, I can just keep posting the same generic article. Details crossed out. Some updated. Truly is deja vu.) Eight Nine Ten game losing streak. Three Four Five games below .500 Eight Nine Ten games back in the standings. I’m buying? Why not? It is a penny stock now. … Continue reading
The stock market went down 500 points today. Do you know that means? Buy! Same things with the Bucs. They were due for a let down. Now everyone is writing them off and digging their grave. People are selling their stock in droves. But me? I’m buying. The team is not used to grinding with … Continue reading
I am happy to have Derrek Lee coming to the team, even though it might not amount to much. I will just be happy to see Lyle Overbay go. If I see him loaf it to first on a weakly hit ball in a Pirates uniform one more time I am going to puke. Lee … Continue reading
The Phillies who just beat the tar out of the Pirates have traded for Hunter Pence. Just rub our noses in it. The Bucs fell apart tonight and took a drubbing, but might as well get all the bad out of their system in the first game of the series. Now they will get to … Continue reading
It is obvious that the Pirates need a little more offense, although I do not see the Bucs lineup in it’s current form any worse than the Braves lineup in it’s current form. Both teams have been challenged by some injuries, but the Braves have more established players that will be rejoining their team than … Continue reading
In the 19th inning of a game that would just not end, umpire Jerry Meal takes it upon himself to end it. The Braves had players on 1st and 3rd with one out, pitcher Scott Proctor at the plate. Proctor hit a grounder to third and Julio Lugo charged home. In routine fashion, Pedro … Continue reading
