Pedro Alvarez rocked one that landed in Mt. Washington. Much needed pick me up, crowd back in it, one run game, Wacha pulled. That was HUGE! I knew I left work.....shhhhhh, don't tell anyone.........for a reason!

Thank You Pedro! You are keeping us in this game.
I will definitely "Vote for Pedro"

Awww Damn! Good game by the Pirates. Wacha was just too damned good and the Card's played a great game.
It will be fun watching the Bucco's shut up the Card's fans in St. Louis!

So who do you think pitches game 5? I'm hoping for Cole
Hoping for Cole, expecting A.J.

Excuse me for my ignorance on this issue, but what is the latest that a team/manager can announce who they are starting? The reason that I am asking is why come out so early and inform the other team who you are starting? Let them guess for awhile, don't give them time to game film the pitcher and possibly pick up on certain nuances that give away pitches. I am happy that Hurdle is starting Cole, I think he is the better of the two (Burnett and Cole).

Great game, but a tough loss nonetheless. Glad he's starting Cole game 5. I know that's a tough gig for a rookie. But I think Cole can handle it. Anyway you look at it we're playing with house money. So I expect a relaxed and confident Buc team to give it one helluva shot in St. Louis. Win or lose this ride has been great, and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

I knew for a fact the Cardinals wouldn't go down that easily.
Back to St.Louis. For all the Marbles.
Well, I think that was their one chance to end the series, and they couldn't get it done. Even with Cole on the mound, I can't see them beating Wainwright in STL.
Here's to a great season, Bucs!Too bad it has to come to an end...
Beating wainwright in St. Louis is a tall order. Win or lose, it's been a hell of a season, more than I could have ever expected
Well, here's to hoping the Pirates can win Wednesday. I know its going to be tough, but it can be done.

This isn't over yet!
"A man's got to know his limitations."
I can't wait until tonight! I will finally get a chance to watch a Pirate playoff game from start to finish for the first time in 20+ years. I've been on the road a lot lately and have listened to as much of the games as I could on XM radio. I've got home in time to see a couple game partially. I even hijacked a television in the picnic grove at Delaware Park the other day and saw most of game four live. But it's not the same as being able to sit down in your living room, crack open a beer, and watching the game from the first pitch on!
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Gonna be a good one tonight.

It's time. Walker tries to work a walk and gets it. Come on Cutch.
Wainwright is hitable today. If Cole can keep us in it we'll get one across sooner later.

Marte just kept us in the game.
Nice catch.
Cards d is dialed in.

Must hold here.
Two outs.
Way to pitch out of a jam Cole, and sit the assbag Freese down
"The mountains are calling and I must go!" -- John Muir
we need to find hits. onlt two in the last 14 or so.
Is it bad that I am hoping for a hit back at the pitcher, Wainwright, that he tries to barehand with his pitching hand, and then, crunch?
Just asking

Or a simple hit by Barmes....that will work too.

Bleeping Bleep Bleepers Cardinals bleepin bleep defense!
"The mountains are calling and I must go!" -- John Muir
That was very painful.
That could be it.
Great season Pirates! I just don't believe that we can overcome a 3 run deficit with the bats as cold as they are!
DAMNIT!
"The mountains are calling and I must go!" -- John Muir
Hurdle went to the pen too early. Never should have pinchhit for Cole in that situation. I get that we're going to lose this game anyway. But any chance we had rested with Cole taking the game to the 8th. By then Wainwright might be vulnerable. Pinch hitting in the 5th was a fucking stupid play!!!![]()
