It has been a couple days since the Pirates’ series against the Cardinals’ ended, but I think that with everything that has gone on in Boston over the past few days, this will help everyone get back up to speed on where the Pirates are at the moment. Monday’s game was...

After being blown out in the last game of the Arizona series and losing Wandy Rodriguez for at least one start, it seemed like the Pirates were in for a rough series against the NL Central powerhouse Reds. Friday’s game had AJ Burnett going against Cincinnati’s Mike Leake,...

After an embarrassing showing in Hollywood over the weekend, the Pirates went into Arizona with hopes of being able to put up a fight this week.  And that is just what they did as they won the first 2 games of the series before imploding in the series finale. Monday featured...
