The Pirates get some more help today as the Cardinals lose to the Reds 7-0. So with a win tonight the Pirates have a shot to pull within 2 games of the 2nd wildcard spot coming home for 6 games starting tomorrow night. You have to take advantage of this and you cant lose a series to the worst team in baseball who has been flat out terrible at home this season. Hurdle better manage a little bit better tonight because last night he was simply not good enough in a lot of his decisions he made in a game the Pirates really needed to win.

Tyrell Jenkns 20 walks in 29 IP this year. So you KNOW the Bucs will be swinging first pitch and early in counts to help hrs by out

Just want to say that although I don't have much faith in Ryan Vogelsong as a starter I'll be pulling hard for him tonight to have a great start in returning from his horrific injury. If there are baseball gods they really should grant him a 'W' in this one after what he went through.

But I do agree that this is a game where you better do what you need to do to win this game. You cannot lose a series to the Braves.

Getting hit in the face with a Basball gods were good to AJ Burnett

Moroff optioned to make room for Vogelsong. Boscan released to make room on 40-man roster.

Marte has 37 RBI are you freaking kidding me. That`s pathetic .

That has to the weakest .320 avg . in the game for a fulltime player ...RBI`s are the shite and he never gets them.

Game finally started. I wonder how Vogelsong will feel the first time he stands in the batter's box.
