We have NOT had a sweep of any series since Sept. 2010. At the expense of the Cubs, who have now lost 12 in a row. The pirates had a little spark to their offense today, with 12 hits, 4 of them home runs.
It's painful watching two offensively struggeling teams play against each other. We left 10 runners on base last night (twice with bases loaded) and didn't score a run either time. The winning run occurred after the Cubs loaded the bases (again) in the bottom of the 9th, score tied 2-2 and then the pitcher hit our batter and walked in the winning run.
Few fans were laughing. We've been on the other side of this for far to long and could feel the Cubs pain.
But a win is a win and a sweep is a sweep. We play the red hot Red's tomorrow. (I errored, I thought this was a 4 game series with the Cub's)
