The Pirates Are Sweet

The Pirates just took 3 of 4 from the team who has won the National League the past 2 years. Now they get rewarded with 6 games with 2 teams that are well below the .500 mark. The Pirates kick off a 3 game series in Houston tonight as Brad Lincoln takes the hill looking for his 2nd straight win. He went 7 scoreless innings last time out and I wouldn't be surprised if he put up a somewhat similar performance tonight. He seems like a streaky pitcher, so maybe he could be starting his first big hot streak.

After that the Pirates go to Milwaukee for the weekend to play 3 games before the all-star break. It should be a fun week of baseball, this Pirates team is really starting to look like a team that can compete in a bunch of games. I'm not saying we're gonna start winning a ton more than we lose, but I do expect the Pirates to gain some respect from the rest of the league. Let's Go Bucs.

7-11, It's a little better percentage than our 27-51 record or whatever it is... - Zemba

team average has to get over .250 to be respectable

and pedro cant strike out as much as he does, struck out twice last night, i havent watched walker or tabata, because theyre average makes up for it walker is .290 im guessing
