Official Pittsburgh Pirates Thread

[Rocco]

Like I said, great move by Hurdle to get Tabata into the lineup.

[Rocco]

2-1 Cards. Jones pulls one back with an RBI single.

[viva la ben]

Yeah, the bucs are gun put up 5+ and then the rains will come

[Tim Thomasen]

Tie game by the hometown kid!

[Rocco]

Tie game. The Pirates continue to murderize RHP. Here comes El Blimpo to end things.

[skullman80]

The pirates bats have come around, just need to get some decent pitching outside of Burnett.

[Tim Thomasen]

Come on fatty hit a HR!

He won't but I can hope.

[Rocco]

Not a HR, but El Blimpo singles home Jones. 5 straight singles. 3-2 Bucs.

[Tim Thomasen]

El Blimpo didn't hit a jack, but hit an important RBI.

[Tim Thomasen]

Lol Cardinals.

[Faubert5]

Coaching visit to the mound:

Dude, it's Sanchez. Keep us within 6, okay?

[Rocco]

I was all set to unload on Martin and Westbrook saved him.

[viva la ben]

Thunder in the distance..

[Rocco]

How many batters until the Cards are leading? O/U is at 4.5.

[viva la ben]

Its going to delay very soon.

[Tim Thomasen]

First someone brought a big head of Staggy to a Pens game, now someone brings a big head of Teke to a Bucs game.

I like it.

[Rocco]

And there's the rain delay. Good thing I didn't plan on sleeping anyway.

[viva la ben]

Stopped raining here, Im about 5 miles west of PNC Park

[Rocco]

Rained out. No make-up date announced. It's for the best, really- Vin Mazzaro would have made the scene and there's no way the Pirates offense could have kept up.

[thehockeyguru]

Is the game restarted then?

[PhantomJB93]

Can someone explain to me why we refuse to give Bryan Morris a chance with guys like Jeanmar Gomez, Tony Watson, and Mazzaro in the bullpen? Maybe I missed something but I thought Morris was supposed to be our best reliever prospect and was in the running for closer after we traded Hammer...

They sent Morris down because he'd be unavailable and they needed someone capable of pitching multiple innings with Sanchez on the mound.

The bullpen is really the least of our worries right now

[DudeMan2766]

Any idea if the Bucs will be on mlb network here tonight again since the Pens are on ROOOOOOOT
