Wow, someone out there really hates the poor Buccos. This schedule has "buried by the end of April" written all over it. Off the top of my head I'll say 7-15, at best, but that may be a tad optimistic. :shake:

I thought the same thing when the schedule was released. If they are anywhere close to .500 come May it will be miraculous.

The Bucs beat the Braves 9-3 tonight to finish April with a 10-12 record. All things considered, I'll take it. :)

Pirates pitchers set a team record for a 9 inning game by fanning 17 Cardinals is a 6-3 road victory Thursday. :)

I won't mention how the pitchers fared the first 2 games of the series. :(

Three days later, Pirate batters K 17 times in a 5-0 loss to the Reds. Of course. :lol:

AJ Burnett give the Bucs 10 strike outs over 8 innings while allowing only 2 runs, Hanrahan comes in to save a 3-2 win...and gives up a two run bomb to former Pirate Adam LaRoche.

Just when it looked like "the Pirates being the Pirates", journeyman bum catcher Rod Barajas finally does something and hits a 2 run walk off homer. :)

The inevitable Bedard injury occurred after 1 inning tonight - that's why the Pirates were able to sign him - but the bullpen came through and Hanrahan shut the door this time, 4-2.

Back to back wins for the first time in about a month...woohoo. :ohwell:

Pirates 3
Marlins 2

Three game winning streak, first one this season. Yeah, that's cause for celebration for Bucs' fans.

17-18 thru 35 games. :ohwell:

Bucs lose 2 of 3 in Detroit but have 3 more against the Motor City Kitties at PNC next month.

Next 9 games are at home versus Mets, Cubs, and Reds. Having managed to not fall too far below .500 during the rugged first five week schedule the Bucs need to take 6 of 9 to get back to .500 at the 50 game mark. Important early stretch if there is to be any hope of breaking the dreaded streak this year.

Currently, 19-22. :ohwell:

A 4th straight win - this time versus the Reds - puts the Bucs back to .500 at 24-24. :pirate1:

Modern day history suggests a losing streak is just around the corner, though.

Hanrahan nails down the rubber match against the Reds to finish off a 6-3 home stand making the Buccos 25-25 through 50 games. Mission accomplished, now it's time to hit the road and try to keep it going. :pirate2:

Bucs take 2 of 3 from the Reds to move back to .500. They're now 18-0 when leading after the 7th.

Nice stat. Grilli and Hanrahan have been dominant so far. :pirate1:
