Game 11: Pirates at Cardinals

Bucs up 3-2 in the seventh with the bases juiced for Jonezilla.

Jonathan Sanchez has been suspended by MLB for six games. No word yet on whether the Bucs will appeal for a longer sentence.

Off day

Looks like another scrimmage, this time in advance of the weekend games. Sort of like the home run derby. It will probably be televised around 8pm.

Game 10: Pirates Win

With the bonus wins for winning the series, I figure the Pirates record now stands at 9-1.

Must be an off day coming up soon--they have been on a pretty torrid tear through the lower divisions.

The hapless Cardinals are next.

Game 7: Pirates at Phillies

As expected, the Pirates are moving through the league like a hot knife through butter.

Rodriguez and Halladay before too long now.

Game 6: Pirates at Phillies

Tough loss last night; Pirates are what, 5-1 now?

Locke and Hamels just getting going.

Game 5: Pirates at Phillies

Pirates head out on the road to wreak havoc in Philadelphia.

Burnett and Pettibone at seven.

Off day

Might be a scrimmage, some batting practice, etc.

Game 4: Braves at Pirates

Maholm and McDonald at seven.

Beer fort recently stocked with Burton Baton. We are ready for anything.

Game 3: Braves at Pirates

Hudson and Wandy just underway.

Game 2: Braves at Pirates

Exciting stuff.

Opening Day: Cardinals at Pirates

Meaningful baseball at long last! huzzah

A. J. Burnett is shutting down the Cardinals.

Pirates will be teeing off Shelby Miller before too long.

Off day

Might be a scrimmage or something.

Hang in there.

Season should start pretty soon. I'm looking forward to it.

Game 12: Reds at Pirates

Bucs down 2-0 in the second. I'd be entertained if Phil Irwin mixed in the eephus along with his filthy curve.

Game 11: Reds at Pirates

Cueto and Locke tonight at seven

Game 10: Reds at Pirates

Bucs won, Leake gets another free shirt.

Game 9: Pirates at Diamondbacks

Cactus League action continues. When will this meaningless west coast road trip end.

D'backs lead the league in sacrifice flies and are tied for fourth in bunts. Good thing these games don't count.

Game 8: Pirates at Diamondbacks

Bucs up 6-4 in the top of the seventh, thanks to a buntless 5(!) run fourth inning.

Game 7: Pirates at Diamondbacks

Zoltan's return has lifted the Bucs up 4-3 after seven. Pedro drew his first walk but Wandy left in the third with a tight hammy.

Game 6: Pirates at Dodgers

Locke and Ryu starting soon. Iron Balls, Tabata, and McDonald all starting, so bench is stacked with pinch-bunters.

Game 5: Pirates at Dodgers

Exhibition season continues as the Pirates play again in Los Angeles.

Kershaw and Burnett to start.
