Game 14: Pirates at Reds

McDonald and Leake at one.

McDonald will eat some innings today we predict.

Game 13: Pirates at Reds

Morton and Arroyo at seven.

After getting clubbed and tazed at home, the defending World Champion Bucs need to tuck their jerseys back in, and trust that their hard work in spring training will pay off and move runners from station-to-station.

Game 12: Brewers at Pirates

Game on. Brewers up 2-0 in the sixth. Maholm and Wolf started, and are still in the game.

Game 11: Brewers at Pirates

Correia and Marcum at seven. Beer and bunting at eight and nine. More beer, billy clubs, and tasers at ten. Every day, I think I need to do something.

Off day

Nothing to see here.

Game 10: Rockies at Pirates

McDonald and Chacin starting soon.

The Bucs might not be able to afford Manny Ramirez or Dodger killer Larry Walker to intimidate Jim Tracy in the on-deck circle. If so, they could sign Jose Hernandez to stand in the circle to flex and pose, causing Tracy to pay zero attention to the game.
