August 5, 201214 yr If the Pirates play into the beaming game and start worrying about everything in the world BUT winning baseball games when they play us, we'll see again how that sinks their ship. Didn't work for the Cards in 2010, either. #Carpenter #LaRue'sHead
August 5, 201214 yr This may been pointed out before, but didn't Leake have 2 strikes on Harrison? I thought it was the first pitch.
August 5, 201214 yr I like the 300 pounder. I like the 8th and 9th. Gas, then nitrous. Make that 7th, 8th and 9th with Marshall in the 7th.

Didn't work for the Cards in 2010, either. #Carpenter #LaRue'sHead I could be remembering wrong but didn't the Cardinals dominate the season series against the Reds in 2010? Yes the Reds won the series, but it seemed like we never did well against them. The Pirates seem to be playing a lot like the 2010 Reds did against the Cardinals and playing with to much emotion and while they struggle against us right now.

Now they have flipped the switch and they are the LaRussa Cards. The Pirates have completely missed the boat this weekend on payback and mind games and I could see them falling into 4th place before month's end. Burnett(if he even pitches now) will obviously get thrown out now if he hits someone,which puts the Reds 2 up in that department, so with no Stars to hit because we all know Phillips is not going to play and the series is over you have to go after the team's opposing pitcher(Bailey) when he bats, in the arm(left) or wrist area during his second at bat and then get thrown out. That's just old school baseball and if you don't play that game your done, which the Pirates are anyway.
August 5, 201214 yr I don't see any retaliation by the Pirates in this game unless it's late in the game and the outcome is already decided.
August 5, 201214 yr IF the Pirates are going to retaliate, it will be today with Burnett. Dude's crazy. This team is fun to watch. This series alone we have seen an inside the park HR, triple by Rolen, diving plays by the 1st baseman, 2nd baseman and right fielder, Cairo stealing 2nd at the age of 87, Broxton and Chapman have been lights out, AND Chapman absolutely smoked McCutchen. Love it!
August 5, 201214 yr Author Dusty said Phillips probably wouldn't play tomorrow. My guess at the lineup. Cozart 6 Stubbs 8 Bruce 9 Ludwick 7 Frazier 5 Cairo 3 Hanigan 2 Valdez 4 Bailey 1 I am starting to think like Dusty. Cozart 6, Stubbs 8, Bruce 9, Ludwick 7, Frazier 5, Cairo 3, Valdez 4, Hanigan 2, Bailey 1
August 5, 201214 yr I am starting to think like Dusty. Cozart 6, Stubbs 8, Bruce 9, Ludwick 7, Frazier 5, Cairo 3, Valdez 4, Hanigan 2, Bailey 1 As much as that migh hurt it's hard to argue with the results
August 5, 201214 yr What's wrong with BP now? Just guessing, but prolly tweaked his calf before the game yesterday a little and they're just being safe. No reason to rush him back right now.
