    They looked pretty far from done to me today

    If this series goes to 5 games, I think Cole showed he deserves the 5th start and not AJ

    All they did was force a game 4. I'm still not ready to believe this team will beat the Cards.

    No one will take issue with this post because you phrased it in the way of an opinion. Contrasted with your previous post which came across as a nasty 15 year old spitefully informing his 7 year old cousin that Santa doesn't exist, and only a stupid little kid would be dumb enough to believe so to begin with.

    Now as to your assertion that i do the same thing over in the Steelers forums. A couple notable differences. I usually chock load my opinions as opinions and add in plenty of qualifiers. As an example

    If this team is in fact as bad as it appears they are then you're looking at a 6-10 record or worse. This team doesn't appear to be a player or two away, they appear to be about 10 players away.This team is more than one draft away from being good again in my opinion. With that in mind do you rebuild around what will be an 11 year vet who probably wont have much left when you bring the over all talent level back up to an acceptable rate? Or do you cash in that chip while it still might have some value, and hasten the rebuilding process with the value you gain in that trade?
    And as to your statement that all the Pirates have done is guarantee a 4th game. You are correct. But let me add my own opinion on to that fact. Liriano is money at PNC. So I think there's at least a 50-50 chance we win that and go up 2-1 with a chance to win it in 4 with Charlie Morton and never let the series go back to St.Louis. But that's where we have to win it most likely. Because if it goes back to Bush with Wainwright pitching game 5 it probably ends badly for the Bucs.

    But taking it one game at a time I 'm keeping my fingers crossed that Liriano gets us up in this series.

    I am very happy with the success of the pirates...94-68 is an incredible season....only four teams have had a better record than the Pirates this year....We must enjoy the moment

    It's 1-1 and the Pirates have their best pitcher tomorrow and also the pirates have been dominant at home against the cards this year....If the Pirates win this series, it would be amazing, but if they loses, I hope you will be positive, since this is an amazing season

    Trust me, if (when) they do, in fact, lose this series, it has been a successful season beyond my wildest dreams. I would not criticize them AT ALL for losing the NLDS to the team with the best record in the NL, and IMO the better overall team.

    If they lose this series I'm fine with it too. But I'll tell you this, I don't think Cardinal fans are nearly as certain about the outcome of this series as you are. Liriano has bee money at PNC all year. And if he comes through don't bet against Morton closing it out in four. The Bucs have played the Cards tough all season. If we can go into game 4 with a series lead all the pressure is on them.

    I think this series is a coin flip.

    Liriano is 4-0 with a 1.16 career ERA in four starts against the Cardinals. He dominated in three starts this year, including a complete game in St. Louis, and allowed 10 hits in 22 innings with 20 strikeouts. He was the winner Tuesday night against Cincinnati in front of a raucous crowd in Pittsburgh that was celebrating the Pirates' return to the postseason.

    You're correct. Cardinal fans are not thinking that this series is a sure thing for them. Typically the Cards don't do things easily in the playoffs anyway.

    A lot of Cards fans, including me, think that Matheny made a mistake by starting Lynn yesterday. He's been very erratic and I think that was an important game for the Cards. Matheny also made a mistake by leaving him in too long and letting the game get out of hand. It might not have mattered as they couldn't get anything going against Cole but you never know.

    I still think this series is going 5 games.

    Dear Buccos, please don't disappoint X-T. Let's close this out at PNC.

    Pedro might have had the bat of the year. Hitting 180 against lefties all year he hung in there and got the hit they needed.

    I'd say you're cheating yourself out of something special.

    Morton was doing great, but it looks like he was trying to be too cute in the sixth and paid dearly for it.
