Game 44 - Pittsburgh Pirates (James McDonald) at Cincinnati Reds (Johnny Cueto)

• Midstate01

  

  I won't fault BP for trying, but you gotta be smarter down 4-1
• Heretic

  

  Thank you Dan McCutchen. Especially since Hernandez seems to hit home runs every damn time he's in a position like that.
• Midstate01

  

  Does Ramon not run hard or is that just all he has???
• Midstate01

  

  Good news is we will have the top of the order up next inning. Bad news is, if they don't get something going, the games over.
• Heretic

  

  Pedro had a three-run homer last night and while 0-2 today, at least he's drawn two walks and hasn't struck out today. Baby steps...
• Midstate01

  

  That's close.
• Heretic

  

  There you go McCutchen. Drive in a run to make it 5-1 and hope that Paul can blow it open with two runners in scoring position and one out.
• Midstate01

  

  Who was Alvarez giving the stare to when he crossed home?
• Midstate01

  

  Well looks like a good time to go mow the yard. Hopefully we got this shit out of our system. Still having 1 win to the lowly pirates is retarded.
• Heretic

  

  Or not. NEXT!
• Heretic

  

  Got one run, but an overall disappointing inning as they let Masset off the hook.

  1) Every team has 'that team' they simply cannot beat. The Pirates are that team for the Reds...it's really no big deal.
  
  2) The Pirates aren't really "lowly" they're not great, but they should hover around .500 or just slightly below .500 the whole season...there's enough talent there to be competitive. 1-5 is bad, but again, they're just "that team" this year.

  I'm paying attention to the game on Yahoo. For the player mugshots that come up whenever someone is at the plate or pitching, Joey Votto looks like immediately after his picture was taken, he broke the cameraman's neck with his bare hands simply for wasting the 15 seconds of his time it took to take the pic. Meanwhile Joe Beimel (still his Dodgers pic) looks like he's coming off a meth bender. He also killed a cameraman, but that was because the voices told him the dude was getting into his stash.

  Three outs to go and a six-game losing streak will be officially followed by a two (and counting) winning streak!

  2nd homer by bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce **ejaculates**
• Heretic

  

  Uh...still three outs to go, but it's 5-3 now after Bruce's second solo shot.
• Heretic

  

  All right! Pirates win and I can now conclude the remaining 1:20 of my work day by staring vacantly into my computer screen! YAY!
• killer_ewok

  

  Pirates win 5-3.

  Classic letdown series. Huge series with Cards and Flubs at home and a two game stint vs the lowly pirates before a titanic 10 game roady.
  
  Had to expect this to heppen. Kinda was happening against the cubs too...but they gave those games to thereds
