Say no to 100 [Pirates 3 Reds 1]
Thanks to tonight’s win, the Pirates cannot lose 100 games this year. Feels kinda good, I guess. Nobody would’ve thought that a week ago, to be sure. Lastings Milledge homered, and Dan McCutchen was really, really solid for 6.1 innings (1...

A new way to lose [Pirates 3 Reds 4]

Still not Miller time [Pirates 1 Brewers 4]
For the second straight year, the Pirates will finish the season winless at Miller Park. I don’t even want to talk about it. Ross Ohlendorf was OK today…he looked solid with the exception of a disaster 5th inning. After a cheap infield hi...
