Game 98: Pirates at Nationals

Morton and Haren in one hour.

Game 96: Pirates at Reds

Bailey and Locke starting soon.

Game 95: Pirates at Reds

Burnett and Latos starting shortly. Burnett needs to step up and inspire the PBC to score a few runs for him today. The usual barking and stomping around doesn't seem to get it done anymore. He needs to up his game with something like biting the head off the rosin bag.

Might be a home run derby or something like that.

Gee and Cole soon.
