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...

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...

Really don’t even know where to begin with this one. I guess I can start by saying that it was hands down the worst game that the Pirates played the entire season.  It’s games like this that make you wonder how a starting pitcher doesn’t grab up his struggling, to put...

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,...
