It’s kind of a surreal feeling when every flip of the channel from the Penguins game to the Pirates game somehow produces more runs for the Pirates.
“5-0? Holy crap! Pull up the Gamecast! Wait, two more guys on! Fair ball for Jones! 7-0!”
“Wait, it was 8-0 when I flipped away and now it’s 11-0! ELEVEN! Take that ridiculous and possibly non-representative run differential! WOOOOOOOOO!”
Seriously, it feels good to beat the crap out of someone. Especially if that someone is the Cubs. Another nice start for Burres, a slew of hits, and somehow, the Pirates are 6-3 since snapping out of that awful funk a couple weeks back. Hard to complain about that.
PS- If I ever seen Andrew McCutchen sacrifice bunting in **ANY** situation again, much less **TWO ON AND NO OUTS** I might organize a boycott or hunger strike or something similarly ludicrous, just to point out how absurd it is. Ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, JR.
