Official Pittsburgh Pirates Thread

[Rocco]

4-2 Houston headed to the bottom of the 10th. Perhaps things turn out differently if Hurdle doesn't IBB Carlos Pena for no good reason.

[jimreb]

Yeah well, take tomorrow's game and win another series.

[FreeCandy44]

I blame the ugly camo jerseys.

A.J. is pitching really well, but having a hard time getting wins. He seems to be snake-bit right now. He is performing much better than a 3-4 pitcher.

Spent tonight at the beer market across the street. Decided to sneak in for the extras. Sorry guys.

[FreeCandy44]

How does one sneak in?

[ulf]

When people start leaving and the guys at the gate aren't looking.

[Rocco]

Cutch scratched from the lineup with a sore knee. I'm going to go into panic mode just to be safe.

[ulf]

Is Jeff Locke like, almost our ace?

[Rocco]

Through 3 1/2 innings neither offense has bothered to show up.

Debbie Flaherty in leather pants, ill allow it.

No one should be allowed to talk about the Pittsburgh Pirates until they at least have a winning season.

Guess we better get the mods to lock the thread.

El Blimpo breaks up the no-hitter/shut out with a homer. 1-0 Bucs. That may be all Locke gets.

[ulf]

lol looked like he thought he fouled it off. That's some power.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah buddy

[Rocco]

Locke is trying to Maholm this run right back.

[Rocco]

Snider with a double. Lately the Pirates have been craptastic with runners in scoring position.

[Rocco]

Basura singles...but Snider's thrown out at the plate. I guess I should have been more specific.

[Rocco]

I know it's just the Astros, but 7 innings, 0 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 4 K for Locke. No runners reached 3rd on him.

[Rocco]

Bucs win 1-0. No more runs scored than necessary. No doubt about it. Bring on Chicago.

[Beveridge]

I guess losing last night is eased by the fact that Houston gave us the game Friday.

Taking at least 2 from the Cubs gives them the 7 win mark on this 10 game home stand, which is what I was hoping for. That 3 of 4 from Brewers was huge.

After Cubs, we'll see what the Pirates really have with 10 against Brewers (in the house of horrors), Tigers, and Reds.

Just noticed AJ Burnett has never been to an All-Star game. Sure would be nice for him to make it this year.

[Rocco]

I apologize to any sensitive posters or journalists for talking about the Pirates, but Hopeless is hitting .300/.330/475 in May. I'm going to assume he's juicing and am totally okay with it.

Good thing the Pirates have shown patience with him.
