68/365: The Pitch
I took nearly 50 pictures at Opening Day, this one is my favorite. Bucs win 11-5!! I can't remember the last time I saw three Pirate homers in the same game.Labels: Baseball, MLB, NL, opening day, Pirates, Project 365

Home Opener!!!
What a beautiful sight! The home opener in Pittsburgh and we snagged seats behind home plate in the club section!Labels: MLB, NL, Pirates, pittsburgh
Pirates players helped collect money for the families of Pittsburgh's slain police officers. Here's pitcher Jeff Karstens at the Home Plate gate. You can contribute to the Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund at the Greater Pittsburgh Police Federal Credit Union, 1338 Chartiers Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15220.Labels: MLB, NL, Pirates, pittsburgh
Steve Blass tossed the ceremonial first pitch to his old battery mate, Manny Sanguillen! Blass has been with the Pirates for 50 years now. I have an old glove around here somewhere that Blass signed for me when I was in the third grade.Labels: MLB, NL, Pirates, pittsburgh
It was Cheese Chester by a semolina grain during the pirogi race. Sadly, Jalapeno Hanna pulled up lame in the first turn and had to be put down.Labels: MLB, NL, Pirates, pittsburgh
I was off getting a hotdog when Adam LaRoche hit his dinger in the third, but I did catch Doumit's smash to right in the eighth!

Nice job! A complete game, four hit shutout for Zack Duke! Complete games used to be pretty common, not anymore. I'm suprised that Russell let Duke throw close to 120 pitches, especially once the one-hitter was gone in the 7th.

Don't Look Now But.....
Yes, the Pirates are still in last place, but are only nine games back with a month of baseball still to play. One of the advantages of playing in the Comedy Central I suppose.
Its improbable, but if the Bucs continue to play well, we could be talking contention THIS year.
UPDATE: Pirates sweep double header from Reds, pick up a half game on the Cubs, and are no longer in last place.

Pitcher
Finally! Some offense to back up one of the Bucs best starters. Hopefully, this isn't an abnormality. Also, it shut up Atlanta fans who were doing their stupid tomahawk chop with brooms before the game even started (and are there any MLB fans more obnoxious than Braves fans?)

Belly Itcher
So, why is Tony Armas and his 0-3 record with 8.76 ERA still hanging around the Major Leagues while Bryan Bullington is 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA and John Van Benschoten is 3-2 with a 1.82 ERA for Indianapolis? OK, bad left handed pitching is tolerated in the Majors, but Armas doesn't even have that going for him. Hell, I can't even find a decent picture of Armas in a Pirates uniform.
