And that's called a winning streak. It has happened before.
The Bucs are in the process of stringing together a couple of W's. Consecutively, no less. The Pride of Pine Richland and Cutch have done a nice job driving in runs so far this season and they continued that trend today with Walker doubling in a pair w/2 outs in the 5th and Cutch knocking in another in the 8th. Kdro managed to go hitless but all is not lost as he did not strikeout and managed 2 walks, which is probably a career high. J-Mac pitched well, giving up 1 ER over 6.2 IP fanning 4 and only walking 1. Joel Hanrahan worked a rocky 9th to earn the save, settling down after giving up a leadoff HR to Jay Bruce.
Now, the Bucs will come home to face a 2nd Place Tigers team and their Interleague Play hating manager who just happens to be revered around these parts for his success during the Glory Years and his chain smoking in the dugout. As we have witnessed pretty much anytime the Bucs come home with anything that could even remotely be considered momentum, they seem to crap themselves. That is never more apparent than when theyre facing an AL opponent. The Bucs were a whopping 2-13 last year in Interleague play and .372 lifetime. Even for a horrible franchise, those are horrible numbers.
Hopefully, people will not be duped into buying tickets solely for the Pride of Pine Richland bobblehead and stay the hell away from the JotNS this weekend. The Bucs corporate brass supports boycotting a local mom and pop bar because they can't take a joke, I think Pittsburghers should return the favor and boycott their fraud of an MLB team. After all, turn about is fair play and we are all entitled to our own opinions. Just ask the Lying Liar......
Couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteThis little streak is exactly what Liar Frank and his minions needed to take some heat off their stupidity.
Then, a bobble head night, nice weather predicted, and Smok'in Jim coming to town, Nutting Pirate pandemonium is a possibility this weekend.
It's great you are keeping the real story in the forefront. Unfortunately, more people don't know the history/story behind Nutting and his henchmen's actions and motives so they will line Nuttings pockets this weekend for a trinket, surely painted with cheap, lead based, toxic, paint, done by some foreign child in a sweat shop......
I like the Kdro tracker.... any chance you might keep a DL, NH, and Bonifay comparison tracker up?
