After watching Ramon Vazquez yesterday, I became angry. What a tough game to lose. He set the shortstop position back a little bit didn’t he? We have to wait how long until Brian Friday is here?
Andrew McCutchen looks so comfortable at the plate.

Quite an unsettling trend has developed through the first four Pirate games: good game, bad game; good game, bad game. Being that they had 17 hits last night, that means today was due to be a "bad day", so we then shouldn't be surprised that the Buccos would get a total...
