Pirates sew up another losing season

And, worst of all for the Pirates, it led to defeat No. 82 of 2008.

That clinched the team's 16th straight losing season, which ties the 1933-48 Philadelphia Phillies for the longest run of futility in professional sports history.

"Nobody's happy with the record," manager John Russell said. "I know the city of Pittsburgh's dying for a winner. We're going to do everything we can to make that happens."


this experiment (fading the Pirates and taking the over) all season seems to have been a success.... next year we might actually wager on a bunch of these games- that should make FRITO happy... :tiphat:

:hang:
In his last 5 starts he's given up 19 runs in like 22 innings

 

[CapTwo]

before today..... which yes he got hit pretty bad

he had a pretty shitty outing his last one against the angels..... and then 2 quality starts... thena shitty outing against bmore but that was when the bats were pretty hot and they were hitting everyone, so kinda hard to gauge there IMO

and dating back before the bmore game.. all 5 of his starts were quality and his only gave up 3 2 1 1 0 0 runs

but yeah man good call on tonight this shit went over in the first inning! and he definitely looks like shit against oak

 

[CapTwo]

*second inning, sorry.
