• Really? The Brewers didn’t want Matt Capps?

  Posted on Wednesday November 11th, 2009 at 11:25 in news, brewers, ryan doumit, steve pearce, andy laroche, matt capps, jeff clement

  On Friday, the Brewers sent shortstop J.J. Hardy to Minnesota for OF Carlos Gomez. Turns out that the Pirates were in the Hardy sweepstakes as well–looking to upgrade from Ronny Cedeno at short. The Bucs offered Matt Capps to the Brew Crew. Gom...

• Three Pirates to go up against Stephen Strasburg

  As if there wasn’t enough to watch tonight with both playoff series in action and Pitt-Rutgers at 8, three Bucs prospects will battle the phenom this evening in an epic Arizona Fall League showdown. [The Phoenix Desert Dogs host the Scottsdale...

• Happy Anniversary, Maz

  That’s right, 49 years ago to the day, Bill Mazeroski capped off an unbelievable Pirates World Series win, possibly the greatest game of all time, and still the only World Series Game 7 to be decided on a walk-off homer. And just as they do e...

• What did we learn in 2009?

  I’m not quite ready to put together a huge season-in-review post, but as a bit of a preview to that, here’s a list of things that we know now, but didn’t back in March: Brandon Moss is not the answer in a corner outfield spot: Mana...

• What’s this? A win? [Dodgers 1 Pirates 3]

  Posted on Saturday September 26th, 2009 at 00:19 in recaps, dodgers, paul maholm, jeff karstens, brandon moss, matt capps, garrett jones, donnie veal

  Somehow, some way, a combination of Jeff Karstens, Donnie Veal, Steven Jackson, Jesse Chavez, and yes, Matt Capps held National League powerhouse Los Angeles to just one measley run. JR decided to go with Karstens in a spot start (to fill a hole crea...

• Raised at last [Pirates 2 Astros 1]

  Posted on Sunday September 13th, 2009 at 18:03 in recaps, ryan doumit, astros, andrew mccutchen, paul maholm, matt capps, garrett jones

  I was beginning to think we might not get to raise it any more this year. Scary thought, but the way the Bucs have been playing, it was an entirely realistic one. Paul Maholm put an end to that. 8 dominant innings, 6 hits, 2 walks, 2 K’s. No ru...

• Familar Formula [Cardinals 2 Pirates 1]

  Posted on Saturday September 5th, 2009 at 21:38 in cardinals, recaps, lastings milledge, matt capps, ross ohlendorf, garrett jones

  One to go. The Pirates cannot have a winning season in 2009. Ross Ohlendorf pitched a great game. A GREAT game. 8 innings, no earned runs, 11 K’s (!!!), one walk, and four hits. He threw a nine pitch, nine strike, 3 K inning, which is totally a...

• The future of the Pirates bullpen

  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 lea...

• Tucked in all week [Brewers 1 Pirates 3]

  Posted on Wednesday August 19th, 2009 at 21:17 in brewers, recaps, paul maholm, ronny cedeno, delwyn young, matt capps

  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...

• Bucs lose extra-inning heartbreaker [Pirates 6 Arizona 11]

  I’ve run out of ways to express how I feel after each Pirates loss.  I’m not trying to be pessimistic or depressing, but these losses are really killing me.  The players weren’t even able to face the media after the game.  The Pi...

  So the liveblog failed miserably tonight, with no one around to actually post anything.  Nevertheless, I left the game with plenty to write about. There was an impressive paid attendance of 23,363 with a huge walk-up crowd.  The will call and game ...

• The trade = win trend stops [Pirates 0 Giants 1]

  Posted on Wednesday July 29th, 2009 at 22:59 in giants, recaps, zach duke, matt capps

  Until today, the Pirates were undefeated this year in their first game after trading a major league player. They won after shipping away McLouth, Morgan/Burnett/Hinske, and LaRoche. Today, they traded Jack Wilson, so I figured they’d win for su...
