Game 11: Reds at Pirates

Bronson Arroyo and Ian Snell at seven.

Game 10: Reds at Pirates

Tonight at seven, Edinson Volquez and Paul Maholm.

The Bucs have lost three in a row to fall to 3-6. Three of nine is how you get to be 30-60 at the All-Star Break. If the players are going to be better than that, the team needs to start winning some series.

Game 9: Cubs at Pirates

Matt Morris and Rich Hill at seven.

Game 8: Cubs at Pirates

Duke and Dempster at seven.

Yesterday's thread

Monday's game was pretty surreal, but the loss was hardly crushing. Any time a team comes back from 7-0, it's hard to say they should have won the game. Dejan Kovacevic describes the game, and Dan Majors reports on the all-important cost of concessions for the Post-Gazette.

Game 7: Cubs at Pirates

Ted Lilly and Tom Gorzelanny in the home opener today at one.

Game 6: Pirates at Marlins

Ian Snell and 22-year-old Rick VandenHurk just after one today.

If the Bucs can get their shit together and win this one, they finish the road trip at 3-3, which would be pretty impressive, all things considered.
