Buccos Bring The Bats

Saturday's game isn't even over yet, and I'm writing this post.

Right now it's 9-0 Pirates in the 7th inning. The Pirates have 4 home runs. Ronny Cedeno, Lyle Overbay, Chris Snyder, and Andrew McCutchen have all gone yard. They're tearing the cover off the ball, and it's real exciting.

In addition to that, Paul Maholm has pitched 6 scoreless innings, allowing only 2 hits, striking out 4, not walking anybody, and throwing only 66 pitches. He looks poised to join Charlie Morton and Kevin Correia in the 2011 compete game club.

There's still 2 and a half innings to go, but I just wanted to be the first to start wrapping this game up.

Pending a ridiculous comeback, the Pirates will improve to 24-26 and get their 15th road win (with only 12 road losses) this year. They'll be going for the sweep tomorrow afternoon. Let's Go Bucs!
