Astros won the first one and Myers got his 14 win. Means he could get 15. Never mind he had a bad night tonight. It isn't surprising really, how do you keep your concentration going for so long? Anyway, it is good to get a win. We need these wins against the Pirates because after that it is the Reds. They should be going for blood at home. Maybe they don't need to. Nice Pence is back and hitting. Keppinger too had a great night.

I would love to be wrong about Wright. He had a good inning of relief and was actually not pitching too badly when they sent him down to the minors the last time. We need someone that can spot start and can give us some good innings of relief. I hope he turns into something like that.

I jinxed poor Wright. I mentioned that he had pitched a good inning and he immediately started pitching badly. Never say any good about anyone before a game. After a game it is alright. Anyway, the Astros sucked. They got beat by one of the worst teams in baseball and both Astros starters have gotten hit pretty hard here in Pittsburgh. Even the bad relievers of the Pirates couldn't save Norris this time. In the meantime, we didn't get anything out of the front end of our lineup in that game. We got only one hit out of our first four hitters. You aren't going to win many games that way. Tomorrow, Happ has a chance to redeem himself, but he won't. I can feel it in my bones. Maholm is the pitcher for the Pirates. He ain't very good but he will be better than Happ tomorrow.

Castro evidently made a fielding error that gave up the lead. The Pirates then scored a ton of runs off the relievers. We don't seem to have any relievers that can get the job done right now. Two bad series in a row and the next is the Reds. It looks like hopes of having a winning record are flying out the window and maybe lots of other hopes at the same time. We will see how they do from now on out, but they certainly have had a bad streak.
