We have the dreaded "No Hitter" alert on the MLB scoreboard

Hideo Nomo is the only pitcher to to throw a no-hitter at Coors Field (9/17/96). That might change tonight. Although Nomo did it against a major league lineup.

This is getting flat out embarrassing. How does a team look this bad after playing so well in The Loo?

Marquez at .207 now takes the lead over Polanco at .197.

Elton John is coming to PNC Park on 9/16. He has as many hits as the entire Pirate lineup tonight.

Polanco is so good

Nomo's no-hitter was a 9-0 game. This one is 8-0. So far.

Thinking ahead to the top of the ninth:

Who pinch hits? Shelton gave Reynolds a scheduled day off. Will he hit? Almost has to doesn't he? Moran hurt, Perez the back up catcher. However.....

There's no chance the Pirates take the field bottom of the ninth.

I bet Perez pinch hits

So when's the last time the Pirates were on national television on a Tuesday night?

Because they're going to be

Now hold on a minute!!

You must mean baseball hits. Because if you are talking “hits” then Sir Elton is one of the highest hit machines and one of the longest tenured in music history.

Never compare Eltons greatness with anything involving the Pirates
