The Pittsburgh Pirates managed a split of their series with the Washington Nationals with a 10-2 blasting that saw eight Pirate runs off Jason Marquis and Collin Balester in the first two innings.
Sorry about no link,no record for winning pitcher Kevin Correia and no other information.
I'll clean this up tomorrow,but I do not want to find out the results of today's afternoon game against Houston and doing those links adds to the chance of me finding out the result....
Pirate Hooks
1) Andrew McCutchen just murdered the ball in the series.
I have no exact numbers,but it seemed like every at bat resulted in a bullet to the gap.
Cutch has really hit the gas of late and had he started just a hair sooner.....
2) Would have easily made the All-Star team.
The All-Stars is not really the achievement that it should be considering the process,but choosing by the player ability and nothing more-McCutchen should have been there...
3) Not that Joel Hanrahan and his perfect 24/24 in save chances didn't deserve it,he certainly did,but credibility takes time and until the Pirates earn respect,they are going to be a one player team....
4) The Bucs returned Brad Lincoln to Indianapolis after his Saturday start and added Chris LeRoux from AAA.
LeRoux mopped up the ninth inning of the win.
So essentially,it was LeRoux for Tim Wood,which is fine with me....
Sorry for the short post.,but check the reasons above for the shortness.
Another post coming soon.
