This series was absolutely miserable.  The pitching was average, the offense was nonexistent to say the least, and the defense was completely terrible in the second game of the series. Jeff Locke continued to show that he is prone to giving up the longball, as he gave up...

The title says it all really because its's at the point in the year where there really are not that many games left.  If the Pirates get swept by the Cubs today and finish the home stand with a 1-5 record, some reevaluating needs to be done.  The lineup, pitching rotation,...

This is really starting to get out of hand lately and if Hurdle and the rest of the team don’t figure something out before the start of tomorrow’s game, they can forget about a Wild Card spot.  Tonight’s game wasn’t as bad as last night’s, but it didn’t look like...

Another game against a sub-.500 team, another Pirates’ victory as the Pirates knocked around the Astros’ pitchers in a 6-3 win as they try to close in on a Wild Card spot. Behind the quality start of Kevin Correia, who went six innings and gave up only one earned run,...

Anyone who pays even the slightest bit of attention to the Pirates should get accustomed to hearing a new name, at least through the rest of the season. That new name is Brock Holt. At the beginning of the season only a few fans had probably heard of him. However, at the moment,...

Hello! I’m Jarrod, and I care about the Pittsburgh Pirates more than anybody really should.  Now, when I say care, what I really mean is sitting with my face in the palms of my hands for 18 (possibly 19 depending on if the Pirates continue their end of the season free fall)...
