Official 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates Thread

[NashvilleCat]

Blimpo had his clutch hit yesterday, so he's taking a hiatus from hitting today.

He's not alone.

[meow]

Phillips not really digging in

[NashvilleCat]

I may have to drag myself to Cincy for a Bucco game next summer. Doesn't look like seats would be too hard to come by.

[TheGhostofGoulet]

White Flag did do one good thing for the Bucs.

He did plunk Phillips in Pittsburgh, which caused Phillips to miss four games.

[TheGhostofGoulet]

Racist umpire saying Brandon Phillips swung the bat.

Is White Flag still on the roster?

[TheGhostofGoulet]

The Pirates waived the White Flag Saturday to make room for the mean streets of Cumpton.

[Rocco]

Liriano Maholms the run right back. Sigh.

[NashvilleCat]

When he gives it up he really gives it up. Those were two no-doubt shots.

[jimreb]

Liriano Maholms the run right back. Sigh.

that was like Fleury letting in one of his soul sucking goals...ugh.

[NashvilleCat]

Walker, Mercer, and a PH?

[meow]

At least they were solo shots.

[Rocco]

Seriously, this performance is Maholm-esque. 2 HRs by 2 of the weaker hitters in the Reds lineup, one immediately after the Pirates finally scratch out a run. All that's missing is a walk issued to the opposing pitcher.

[jimreb]

Walker, Mercer, and a PH?

I'm sure Inge is grabbing a bat right now.

[TheGhostofGoulet]

Walker leading off this inning, he'll still find a way to hit into a double play.

[Rocco]

Walker draws a walk. Of course Mercer will fail somehow with a bunt.

[NashvilleCat]

Walker draws a walk. Of course Mercer will fail somehow with a bunt.

If he's running out of the box that makes the throw much more hurried and more interesting.

[shafnutz05]

This is depressing.

[jimreb]

Thanks Travis, just what we needed...ugh

[TheGhostofGoulet]

Or, Travis Snider will K.

[NashvilleCat]

Starling is due.

[FreeCandy44]

This is depressing.

Just wait...it gets better.

[NashvilleCat]

If I'm the ump Leake's not getting another corner tonight.

[canaan]

Fudge.

[Rocco]

Normally teams fare well when the leadoff hitter reaches base, but not the Pirates.
