Good morning!

Finally the game got going, but the cardnials scored four runs in the first inning.....and we couldn't mount the big come back....6 to 5....with more rain, not enough to cool it off, only made it worse.

Now, the Giants are playing the brewers and we need the giants to pick it up. The brewers have a great offense and can kill you with those bats.
I hope you can watch it on TV Atlast. It should be good games. Both first place teams in the division...(well, pirates are hanging on by half a game)thats how insanely close this race is........

LOL... you bet I am watching my guys against the Brewers! We got 'em yesterday! Great game. yes, those bats! Our bullpen is the solution to those bats. Damn, though, SF has got to get hot on offense or no way will we do well in the play-offs.

After dropping two straight to the Cards, (remember I said they play baseball close to perfect) Clint Hurdle (Our Manager) decided it was time to force them to make errors. We played recklessly aggressive on those basepads, and it worked. They made throwing errors and mental errors, and we eeeked out a win to avoid a sweep and thanks to your Giants beating the Brew Crew, we hold first place by % points.

Pittsburghers raised the Jolly Rogers!.........(smile)

National television last night....the Pirates are getting some attention! It was blacked out here. So, 100 games have been played, 62 to go. And here we are in first place. We beat the braves who threw Tim Hudson at us. To get a win, on a Nationally televised game, from a really good team is a confidence booster. I really like Ryan Doumit, our Catcher, who is rehabbing a broken ankle, but this Micheal Mchenry is a keeper. A catcher who can play defense, I don't remember the last one....don't say Kendall, many base runners ran successfully off of him. They don't mess with Mchenry's accurate arm. He'll catch them at first too. His hitting has to pick up some, and more time in the majors should help him. I say this alot and I'll say it again, baseball to me, is mostly pitching and catching~the battery~....I'm loving on you Mike!

So, no one has asked me what a jolly roger is? I'm guessing you've all googled it, or IGNORED it!

Jolly Roger the pirate flag right?

The Bosox are doing weird things. They are notorious for their August meltdowns. I think we are seeing hints of one coming.

We are struggling in our series with KC. I mean really, its KC, this shouldnt be THAT difficult. But we are making it look so. At least we are hitting and scoring tonight. And havent mistimed a steal of home yet - what were you thinking there Reddick.

The Pirates are doing great! Nice to see them and their fans enjoying the game again!

LOL, it's quickly becoming the Pirate flag.....it's a skull and cross bones
on a black flag.....

On the last last home stand (the cardninals) I saw 4 guys in a canoe paddling towards PNC park dressed as Pirates .....3 were actually paddeling
(they wern't even rowing) and one PIRATE if you will, was standing up
holding the Jolly Roger into the breeze.........those were fan's. In that heat, to be dressed like that. It was good to see......canoe was junk, I hope it didn't sink on them.
