They may lose but at least it will be at a time when early-to-bed people can watch it happen (and offer help and guidance to management - at full lung power).

Let's Go Bucs!!!!

Maybe IKF, Reynolds or Bart will get a hit. Not much else there.

They have to win today, don't they? They're facing a guy they traded away to pay for IKF and BDLC, and getting a low level lottery ticket in the process to boot.

I mean, it woulnd't be fair to lose now. It wouldn't be right to have the losing streak hit double digits against a guy the Pirates essentially cast off for nothing more than some salary relief.

If the Pirates lose today, I'll be okay, because I'll know now it's all scripted, like pro wrestling. It's just a storyline as a subplot to the bigger picture which is MLB. And I should know, I've gone to pro wrestling. Yeah, I know it's fake, but wow the dedication to every detail, the atleticism, the putting forth the best every single night, making the correct move each and every time. Hmmmmm........

They need to start scouting pro wrestlers!!!!!!

Could this be the day the Pirates break their long losing streak. Personally I think it will go to 10 games in a row.

I feel bad for Surg. The poor guy is losing it.

Cutch gets a day off so Grandal can play.

I was going to say that, when I looked at the line-up, I counted only three major league hitters. But then I realized there may not be any on the bench, either.
