So despite the lack of recent posts, we are still writing, just slacking tremendously. With one of us in Japan, and the remaining two of us directing our efforts towards other projects, we haven't kept up with posts. No more, at least for tonight. I present to you... A RECAP!
The Pirates looked pretty good today. It sure was nice to watch them come back to tie the game at 6 before wrecking Zambrano's life to go ahead by 3 in the 8th. Cutch putting another nail in the coffin in the 9th was also awesome to see.
I can't write about this game without mentioning the career days Cutch and the GFJ had. Cutch goes 5 for 5 with 2 RBIs and a walk, while scoring 5 times.
Think about that for a second.
He was on base every time he got to the place, and only failed to score once. That is damn near perfection. And it is beautiful.
Jones went 5 for 6 with 5 RBIs and scored twice, which is equally ridiculous, and makes me very happy as a Pirate fan.
What great outings from these two. Hopefully they continue to be produce consistently so we have offense every game.
Stare you should. We are beasts.Now that you are obviously excited about the days Cutch and GFJ had, it's time to give you some bad news because you are a Pirates fan, and you must always have disappointment with your excitement.
Aki was 0 for 6.
He just continues to struggle and cannot seem to get going. If he continues down this path, it may not be too much longer before management has to seriously consider other options at second base. Say... Neil Walker?
Walker is having a great season so far in Indianapolis, and I have to think that he should get a shot to show what he can do in the Show soon if Aki can't get the job done.
I like Aki-San, but if he is not going to be able to string together some hits on a consistent basis, then the Pirates have to go with whoever is going to be able to give them that production.
Anyway, the Pirates are now 15-20, so only 5 more wins until .500.
Wahoo!
