For the first time in almost a month the Pirates won back-to-back games with their 2-1 win yesterday and 5-1 victory today over the Atlanta Braves.  Yes, it is nice to see that Pirates remembered how to win baseball games.  However, if they would have been able to sprinkle...

I’m not exactly sure how to start this blog post because well I never thought I was going to have to blog about the Pirates losing 82 games this season, at least up until the beginning of this month.  Then the thought started to cross my mind.  But that is beside the point...

And that will do it for the 2012 Pittsburgh Pirates.  After their 6-0 loss last night to the Mets, they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.  So at least one streak will continue, as the Pirates will miss out on the postseason for the 20th consecutive year. ...

While just about every story that focuses on the Pirates in the news of late has the word “collapse” somewhere in it, a word that hasn’t been used that often recently will be used in this one.  That word is victory.  Last night the Pirates took it to the Mets, as they...

I went home for the weekend and was away from my computer for a couple days, so I’m going to do my best to make sense of this atrocious weekend of Pirates baseball. After being swept by the Brewers and allowing them to creep back into the playoff race, the Pirates went to...

It seems like every blog I post starts with something about the Pirates doing the exact opposite of what they should do if they want to get in to the playoffs.  Why should this one be any different?  Losing the first two games of this series to the Brewers pretty much knocks...

After the game finally started at 11:42 p.m. last night after a 3 hour and 37 minute rain delay, the Pirates were able to split the series with the Cubs with a 3-0 victory in a game that could possibly set the tone for this series starting tonight against the Brewers at 7:05...

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...

This is it.  The Pirates have 20 games in 20 days starting this afternoon at 2:20 p.m. in Chicago against the Cubs.  If there is any chance of the Pirates saving this season it begins today with James McDonald taking the hill and pitching the way he did the first half of the...
