At some point, the Pirates WILL win a game at Miller Park. It has to happen sometime, right?
The streak was extended to 20 games as the Bucs dropped yet another decision to the Brew Crew in the home of the beermakers. As Rocco suggested a while back, start boycotting Miller beer if...

Nineteen losses in a row at Miller Park.
Zach Duke had a miserable night. Ryan Doumit was benched in the middle of the game for undisclosed reasons. Cryin Braun and Prince Eatsalot both homered, and surely did their stupid punch-punch-duck routine. The shirts were untucked.
The offense...

It was supposed to be a battle of big-time ROY candidates…J.A. Happ vs. Andrew McCutchen. Cutch had the early advantage with a leadoff homer and another hit. Happ got him out the next two times, though, and pitched into the 8th inning with a 2-1 lead.
Then, another rookie who...

Let’s be blunt. It’s pretty clear that the Pirates have a horrible bullpen right now. Currently on the roster, we have:
Denny Bautista
Chris Bootcheck
Matt Capps
Phil Dumatrait
Jesse Chavez
Joel Hanrahan
Steven Jackson
Yikes. With a lead or in a close game, I would trust...

The Bucs got some more ninth inning drama tonight: a Brandon Moss solo shot that tied the game at 1 in the ninth. Unfortunately, there wasn’t more to follow. Andrew McCutchen could have sent all 10 Pirates fans that were actually at the game (stands were mostly red tonight) into...

I didn’t see any of this game (except for the occasional score check) until I happened to turn on my computer and fire up MLB.TV just in time to see a replay of the Pirates tying it in the ninth. Then Andrew McCutchen came to bat.

Indianapolis beat Louisville, 8-3.
Daniel McCutchen gave up 2 runs in 7 innings, and struck out 8. His record is 13-6, and his ERA is 3.36. I am not gonna lie, I pretty much gave up on him. I am glad he has proved me wrong. In his last 10 starts, Dan has given up 15 [...]

Brad Lincoln continues to be inconsistent in Indy, going 5 innings and giving up 4 runs. His problem right now seems to be home runs, and he gave up one in this game. His control has been fine (1 walk). Lincoln also had 2 hits in the game, putting his average at [...]
