Satisfaction

It was a good one. Kovacevic sums it up.

HOUSTON -- The Pirates first pulled off the unlikely.

They made Roger Clemens sweat.

Then, they pulled off the unthinkable and won on a night he was spotted a three-run lead.

To boot, they finished it off by smacking around Houston's sensational closer, Brad Lidge.

Daryle Ward and Jason Bay homered off Lidge in a three-run ninth to propel the Pirates to a 6-4 victory against the Astros at Minute Maid Park that unquestionably was their most satisfying of the season.
