Before last night there was only one no-hitter thrown in the history of Coors Field, by Hideo Nomo of the Los Angeles Dodgers, back on September 17th, 1996. After last night, it remains as the only no-hitter in the history of Coors Field; although German Marquez did almost everything necessary to achieve something that noContinue reading “Pirates Avoid No-Hitter, But Get Shutout For Second Straight Game”

Wainwright Wrangles The Pirates Yet Again
Ever since Adam Wainwright became a regular in the St. Louis Cardinals rotation back in 2007, he has regularly become a thorn in the side of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Their last victory against him on his home turf came back on June 29, 2012, plus he’s the man who ended the Pirates last playoff runContinue reading “Wainwright Wrangles The Pirates Yet Again”
Pirates Earn At Least A Series Split
Prior to the start of this series against St. Louis, Pittsburgh had dropped nine straight games to the Red Birds dating back to last year. Sure, it isn’t the same dominating Cardinals team, but there is something to be said about a young, and obviously rebuilding team, coming into Busch Stadium and taking the firstContinue reading “Pirates Earn At Least A Series Split”
Pirates Take Advantage Of The Wounded Red Birds
The last time the Pirates faced off against the Cardinals in the middle of May, St. Louis was sitting pretty at 25-18, a top the NL Central by 3.5 games over the Cubs and having taken the last 11 games from their Divisional Opponents. Flash forward a little over a month and the same CardinalsContinue reading “Pirates Take Advantage Of The Wounded Red Birds”
Pirates Drop Second Game To The White Sox As I Return To PNC Park
Yesterday’s Pirates-White Sox matchup marked 1 year 8 months and 26 days since I walked into PNC Park to watch a baseball game; and understandably I didn’t know exactly how my mind was going to react to being back to a place, as well as a situation, I have experienced hundreds of times over theContinue reading “Pirates Drop Second Game To The White Sox As I Return To PNC Park”
Pirates Battle Back To Beat My Second Favorite Team In The First Of Two
Back in the day, when me and my friends had to crowd around the 19 inch TV in my bedroom to play video games, there was really only one rule-you couldn’t play against another person with a hometown team. This went for Tecmo Super Bowl, RBI Baseball 1 through 3 and eventually NHL 94 whenContinue reading “Pirates Battle Back To Beat My Second Favorite Team In The First Of Two”
Time for the MLB Draft to Evolve
You know, it’s really hard to get excited for the MLB draft. I mean this season the Pirates have the number one overall and I bet even that will only prompt real nuts die hands to watch. It’s not an event, little drama, the athlete’s stories are often pretty vanilla, and you know for damnContinue reading “Time for the MLB Draft to Evolve”
The Pirates Bats Fell Silent Once Again
First of all Happy Father’s to all the Dads out there; as well as the men and women who step up to fill any void. Your presence in our children’s lives is immeasurable and we are forever thankful for all you do. For me, I was lucky enough to have multiple family members who showedContinue reading “The Pirates Bats Fell Silent Once Again”
Pirates Pounce In The Seventh For Their Second Straight Victory
The Pirates are clearly going through a rough patch. With the number one overall pick coming their way in less than a month from the disastrous 2020 season, a ten game losing streak barely in the rear view and a place in the bottom four of MLB reasonably secured; it is a tough time toContinue reading “Pirates Pounce In The Seventh For Their Second Straight Victory”
Pirates Barely Hold On To End Ten Game Losing Streak
The Pirates must have been tired of hearing about the fact that they had scored 4 or less runs during their current slide, as they put this discussion to rest by putting a 5 spot on the board in bottom of the first; capped off by an El Coffee bomb. A few innings later BryanContinue reading “Pirates Barely Hold On To End Ten Game Losing Streak”
