The 7-6 win on Saturday was a huge victory for the Pirates, but it was really all for not as the Pirates’ bullpen blew another lead on Sunday in the 13-9 loss.   Another good start from Wandy, who has pitched extremely well in his last 5 starts, and finally somewhat of an...

Every loss from here on out really hurts the Pirates, primarily because there are less than three weeks left in the season and the Pirates still have a slight chance of making the playoffs.  Yesterday’s 7-4 loss to the Cubs hurts even more than most because the Pirates lost...

Well that just about does it.  After last night’s 2-1 loss to the Reds the Pirates can close the book on what looked to be a historical season.  Instead, the Pirates were swept by the Reds and are now just two games over .500 at 72-70. AJ Burnett did exactly what he had...

Five games.  The Pirates have lost five straight games after last night’s 5-3 loss, going 2-8 in their last ten games, and are now just three games over .500.  And yes this is, for the most part, the exact same team that was 63-47 roughly a month ago.  From 16 over .500...

After what looked to be a game that was in the bag for Wandy Rodriguez, the Pirates once again showed why they just can’t keep up with certain teams in the league, mainly all of them of late, as the team lost 4-3 in 14 innings to the Reds last night. Wandy went 6 2/3 strong...

After probably the worst homestand of the season, the Pirates’ lives get even tougher as they head out on the road for a three game series starting tonight against the NL Central leading Cincinnati Reds. What better way to start what could be the season altering series than...
