    Re: The 2006 Pittsburgh Pirate Thread

    Can someone explain to me why Santos is on this team?

      To implode in the 2nd inning and lose the lead?

      Seriously, I have no friggin clue. I read an article today where Tracy said "Vic pitched a great game against us last year........". I thought - Ahh, that explains Tracy's infatuation with him.

        Nice of the umpire to get in between McLouth and second base on that play....jeez.

        EDIT: and I see the Pirates still haven't learned where the inside corner of the plate is

          By the way, is Prince Fielder really 0-6 with 6 K's on the season? I know he was 0-4 with 4K's last night, but this game isn't on TV here.

          Talk about falling flat on his face to start the season.

            I think he's 0-5 with 5K. He's due to lead off the bottom of the 4th

              Yeah, he looked pretty horrible yesterday. Something about a waist high fastball that he doesn't understand. I'm thinking they're regretting getting rid of Overbay.

                You're right...it is 0-5 with 5K's.

                  I was surprised he missed some of those pitches yesterday. Then once Ollie got ahead, Prince was chasing everything above his head.

                  He probably just needs to settle down a little. He's obviously very talented. I just wonder if he's ready.

                      Vogelsong beans a guy and then gives up a HR to Gross.

                      5-2 MIL

                      The offense is once again terrible so might as well chalk up another loss: 0-2.

                      Honestly, I know it's early, but what are the chances the last time we see .500 is at 0-0?

                          Burnitz brought them close with a 2 run HR, but then Grabow comes in and gives up another run right away.

                          They've given up a lot of bleeders or balls that found soft spots, but that's the sort of thing that always happens to the Pirates.

                          And the Pirates are striking out way too much yet again.

                            What worries me is the strength of this team (according to DL and Tracy) has been shredded these 2 games. That being the bullpen of course.

                            Offensively this is sad. It's a lot like last year.

                              Well...I would hardly call Ryan Vogelsong a strength. Grabow was very disappointing though.
