    somehow got the win not a good sign that melancon and grilli both gave up a run, those guys need to be great for another playoff visit.

    They are both frauds.

    This team has a permanent rabbit's foot stuck up its ass.

    Starting pitching outstanding, but ,8 hits in 16 innings for the offense is puss poor. I know I gotta get used to more of the same, but damn it is frustrating to have the pitching but not enough offense.

    lucky to win the series against the scrubs at home, not a good start even though its 2/3.

    Wins are wins, but it's painfully obvious the offense will again be the thing that holds this team back. If the Bucs are going to be anything more than Wildcard fodder, they have to address that situation via trade or free agency. Still wouldn't mind having Drew at SS, but understand they won't give up a draft pick for him - so they have to wait until after the June draft which is when he might get signed any how. Otherwise, have to hope someone like Polanco can inject some life into the offense.

    Damn. So much for a Gerritt Cole scenario of mid-season help.

    On the plus, Volquez looks solid today. On the minus, offense continues to scuffle although Waino is a good excuse to suck.

    Cumpton might wind up a bigger part of the puzzle with Tailon down. Reading quite a bit about the availability of Ike Davis from the Mets. Duda has been put into the starter's role at 1B. Wonder if the Bucs could find the right package to tantalize the Mets. Still think they need another bat for sure.

    They need to abandon the Super 2 bullshit and call him up Arch. This season could be lost by June otherwise. They need a spark.

    Pirates trade reliever Bryan Morris to the Miami Marlins for a 39th overall pick in the upcoming draft

    Gregory Polanco makes his debut tonight. Playing RF, hitting 2nd. Will wear #25.

    Too bad no pitching help this year. At least the offense should get a boost to try and cover the mediocre pitching.

    Yea, but the offense for the next 2-3 weeks takes a hit with Neil on the DL.

    Pitching staff is in shambles. Liriano could be going to the DL with an oblique to join Cole. So I guess Cumpton and Locke have to be depended on ... yikes. Could really use some help from the offense.

    Man if 1-4 could produce like this every night, the offense might carry this club a bit. Polanco having a day, 3 for 4 with two runs scored out of the leadoff spot. I kinda dig the order.

    Jeff Locke, Savior 2.0? Two great starts since he came back. They need it. With as :meh: as this team has been so far, with the two wildcard system they are right in the mix. If the pitching can get healthy and this lineup can shape up to be productive, they should be in contention.

    Really could use an extra arm in the rotation at this point.

    They must have gotten a memo to get Polanco his 1st five hit game tonight. Pathetic blowing that lead.

    I gave you the script. Best story ever told. Five hits. HR to take the lead in the 13th. First ML HR to take the lead. Polanco is the shizzzzzzzzz. Mark this day down in Buccos lore.

    Mike Dunn just saved the Pirates.

    If he can't get lefties out he's useless. How do these guys make it to.the majors and hold jobs?
