Although it’s absolutely killing our chances at Bryce Harper, you have to love the way the Pirates came home and swept Milwaukee after a miserable stretch to begin August. Even if it may not mean anything except a bit of confidence and bragging rights, it feels great.

A winning streak! An actual winning streak! Against the Brewers, no less!
After an offensive explosion yesterday, you might have thought the Pirates were due to be shut down by an awful pitcher as they have been so many times. Manny Parra qualifies as an awful pitcher, but the Bucco...

Would you believe the Pirates are 29-27 at PNC Park this year? Amazing, huh? A true testament to how awful the Bucs are on the road (18-43!!!).
Anyway, the Pirates were surely glad to be back tonight after a week-long road trip, and they were able to put together a solid win over...

[For 15.67 million over four years]. There was plenty of doubt that this would happen, but it would’ve been a major disaster for both sides had they not struck a deal. Good for Strasburg and the Nats. As for Scott Boras…we still don’t like him.
I was kind of hoping...

After a 3 hour and 15 minute delay. No make-up date has been announced. The Pirates will push Ohlendorf–today’s scheduled starter–back to Tuesday so Kevin Hart can take his regular turn tomorrow.

There’s not much else to say. This game was laughable from the very start (well, not really. McCutchen hit a leadoff single. But then Cedeno hit into a DP).
Charlie Morton had an absolute nightmare of an outing. He didn’t have any command at all, gave up a massive 3-run...
