Game 62: Orioles 12 Pirates 6

Instead of lingering on all of the things that have gone wrong for the Pirates over the last three days, sometimes it’s easier just to say this: James McDonald starts on Friday. AJ Burnett starts on Saturday. The Pirates are getting out of Baltimore. Things feel bleak right now, but we’re only a few days removed from everyone’s personal high point on the season. If the Pirates’ two best pitchers turn in good performances, maybe we’re only a couple of days removed from getting back in that direction. 

Maybe that’s unnecessarily hopeful, but Thursday was a pretty rough day for the Pirates. Let’s hope they can pull out of this before they start into another 2011 tailspin.  

About Pat Lackey

In 2005, I started a WHYGAVS instead of working on organic chemistry homework. Many years later, I've written about baseball and the Pirates for a number of sites all across the internet, but WHYGAVS is still my home. I still haven't finished that O-Chem homework, though.
