Big Lead Sports Bar



Wednesday night: Rockies 8, Pirates 0
Thursday night: Rockies 10, Pirates 1
Friday afternoon: Cubs 17, Pirates 2

1-11 this month
7-19 since the break
46-69 overall
A starting pitcher that gives up 10 earned runs in an inning
A manager that leaves a pitcher in long enough to give up 10 earned runs in one inning
A team that's been outscored 35-3 in the past three games

I'd say this was rock bottom, but then again, I've said that about 100 times before.
Can we just keep talking about Sean Paul instead?

I wasn't altogether humiliated by the homestand that ended with 8 losses in a row last week. I thought the team, mostly played fairly well and was in every game. The starting pitching was solid, and the lineup was producing (except for that near no-no).

The huge problem was the bullpen, which just seemed to blow it in a big way every blessed night.

But this roadtrip has been a disaster. When you're watching a young team grow, you can deal with tough breaks like last week, but now they're just playing bad baseball, and it isn't encouraging at all.

You have to hand it to the Pirates. When they hit rock bottom, they can always find a way to keep digging. Race for the bottom guys, you can do it!

One more comment, well more like a plea. Can't the Pirates just be demoted to AAA or AA?? They do that in soccer leagues around the world. If you suck, you get demoted to a lower league.

17-2 could be an omen for the Steelers record this season.

I think that is the right total of games. 16 regular season and 3 playoffs including the Super Bowl.

Doesn't matter how many they win, as long as they win the last one.

I was at this game. 4 friends and I drive all the way to Chicago. Wrigley is a great atmosphere, it's just a 41,000 seat beer garden. For the most part, the opposing fans were quite cordial.
Then the Pirates come out and play the worst 2 inning of baseball any of us can even remember. We were embarrassed, especially my friend that dressed up like an actually Pirate. He said he wished he'd bought a second eye patch, so that he wouldn't have witnessed the beat down.
Moral of the story: Never plan a vacation around these Pirates.
