Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 44
To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. There is a very real argument that the Pirates should be on the verge of being swept by the Astros. It reminds me too much of last year when the Pirates were amazing against the challenging part of their schedule but fell apart once it let up.…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 43
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Not something we Pirates fans are used to. Did the Pirates win or did the E-stros lose? Regardless a win is a win and I still want my sweep. Who better to send out there for Game 2 than A.J. Burnett? It’ll be a matchup of the Opening…

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…

What Happens When You Compliment Clint Hurdle

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 40
Bonus Baseball and walkoff homers. That’s what I live for. Things are right on schedule to win this series. It won’t matter though. If you believe in curses, which I do, you know this season is over. Why is this season over? A very, very bad omen. It was a Wednesday. October 14th, 1992 to…
