[Official] Pirates @ Astros

WAY TO GO CECIL! How about not waiving the white flag after the first 3 runs in the 9th!!! Damn you stro's, why do you guys waste my time like this.

 

astro's games like monday is the reason why i can't wait for football season.

 

Anyone have any idea how much Valverde's ERA went up after this outing?

Pugs

 

Ugggh. That was so gay. I was there last night. I actually got on TV towards the ned. We were the one's celebrating really hard after getting a foul ball in the 9th.

We weren't celebrating for long.

 

Cassell puts us in a hole early.

 

Consider yourselves lucky your coverage of this game isn't being interrupted every five minutes to warn the Pittsburgh area of a tornado warning. A tornado warning? In Pittsburgh? WTF....

 

Least I don't quite have to worry about watching the game for long tonight. Thanks Cassel.

 

Runelvys looked better last night than Cassell.

Cassell is getting hit hard.

 

Bring on our new star Wolf. I'm tired of watch Cassell fail.

 

Maholm is 1/3 of the way to a perfect game.

 

Bourn just saved another run or two there for Cassel. Cassel looks awful so far.

 

WOW, great pick off my Q. That was fast. he got him. Stupid ump.

Well, the battle for WORST in NLC goes on.

 

This Cassel guy is the worst starter i've seen in a while and i'm a Pirates fan.

 

Cassel sucks. He has no velocity much like Moehler. Guys that have to rely on location will rarely be very good over the long run. The same goes for pitchers that are all power but can't locate (Nieve is a great example). Moehler has been lucky this season (sorry Moehler lovers) but if you look at his career number, it all makes sense.

 

Byrdak has been our best pitcher this year and now he's given up runs in 3 of his last 4 appearances and his ERA (still good) has almost doubled.

 

I would've said Geary even before the last two nights. For one, Geary has pitched in more tough situations. Second, he's pitched more innings and given up only 1 HR along with a much better K/BB ratio. Geary has also given up far less hits per inning.

Regardless, Byrdak has been impressive considering who he is.

 

This may come as a shock....but I agree with this completely.

 

Well, if we are battling for worst, then in that case I guess we are winning...

 

Pretty much a "who can suck more" series.

Apparently its Houston. After last night, it's going to take a few wins in a row to cheer me up. That 9th inning collapse made this game seem like nothing.
