2012 Thread O' The Pittsburgh Pirates: SS/DY

• killer_ewok

  

  Didn't see the Detroit-Cincy final til just now. Fuck yes.
• Heretic

  

  Was at the race track for three days not paying attention to anything outside in the real world. Come home and find they swept the Royals -- GOOD! Wake up to see Cincy blew a four-run lead with their bullpen to put them in a tie for first -- GREAT!

  This will be a tough week playing at Baltimore and Cleveland.
  
  Offense doesn't have enough depth for an AL style lineup. I'd be happy with 3-3 out of this 6.

  As long as the 3 are against Cleveland...lol. :thumbup:

  I could handle that.

  Hope lots of Pirate fans make it up to Progressive.
• killer_ewok

  

  Pirates fall to the Orioles 8-6. And of course I had Neil Walker on my fantasy baseball bench and he hit a HR and had 3 RBI's. Adds insult to injury. Damn.
• killer_ewok

  

  Pirates got whooped by the O's again. Reds win. Buccos go from being tied for 1st to two games back of Cincy just like that.
• Heretic

  

  Having Lincoln (good as reliever; sucky as starter) and Correia (fail) going back-to-back isn't helping the team. When you don't have a good offense, giving up 15 runs in two games means you have no chance of winning.

  3 games back now after yet another beatdown courtesy of B-more. SMH

  Being forced to listen to excessive whining? Or just yelled at about how things were in 1940 in football?
  
  Ought to be an interesting series. Yahoo added run differential to their standings. Both Pitt and Cleve are 32-30 and both have -31 run differentials. The only other team with a winning record and negative run differential is Miami, who is 32-31 and -34.
• killer_ewok

  

  And that's how you can tell it's baseball season....Cleveland beats Pittsburgh.
  
  McDonald pitched well. Masterson was better though.
• killer_ewok

  

  Missed the game because of my daughter's 2nd birthday party. Saw the final though. Way to rebound after 4 straight L's.
• GoPens

  

  Yesterday was more like it. Too bad Burnett can't pitch every day. Rubber game today, but not much hope with Lincoln out there starting.
• killer_ewok

  

  Raise it.
• GoPens

  

  Thank you Cleveland for waking up Alvarez. Hopefully this is the start of something big for him.
• GoPens

  

  Bucs beat the Twinkies 7-2 for third win in a row. Pedro continues to hit and ANYTIME you get a win with Correia on the mound it's a bonus. Getting help from the Indians too who beat the Reds for the second night in a row.
• Heretic

  

  Third win in a row and they're only 2.5 back. Also helps that Detroit beat St. Louis, to put a little bit of distance between them and third place. 25 runs over the last three games is very nice. If they can show some offensive competence on at least a semi-regular basis, they'll be able to stay in the playoff race all year.
• killer_ewok

  

  2-1 loss tonight to Minny. Bedard only gave up 1 run in 6 innings. Dammit.
• Heretic

  

  Yeah. Golden opportunity lost, as the Reds dropped another. Could be 1.5 back, but they're still 2.5...and St. Louis made up a game on them.
  
  Good to see Bedard bounce back with a good start, though, after he got shelled his last time up. With his durability issues, anytime he gets blasted, I get scared, because the team really doesn't have the starting pitcher depth to lose people for long periods of time.
• GoPens

  

  Pirates take another series beating Minnesota 9-1. McDonald throws the first complete game of the year and the Bucs hit 3 home runs, including Alvarez's shot out of the park and nearly into the river.
  
  Got the Tigers in a big series this weekend. Heard that all the games are nearly sold out.
• killer_ewok

  

  Burnett with another gem, Pirates beat Detroit. Raise it.

  Great interview with Andrew M. on the Rome Show today, anyone else get to hear it?

  Nope. What'd he say?
• GoPens

  

  Reds lose. Bucs a game out. Winning one of the next two would be a bonus, but I'm not real confident. Lincoln pitches Saturday for the Pirates Saturday and Verlander for the Tigers on Sunday. We all know what he almost did to the Bucs a few weeks back.
