The Pirates failed to score runs once again Saturday night, dropping a 5-1 decision to the Indians at Progressive Field in that stinkhole known as Cleveland.
I really can't stand to see the Bucs lose, let alone to Cleveland. I don't care how much the Indians have improved, you don't lose to that team whether it's baseball, football or arena football.
The offense is on life support, and that will be the reason Pittsburgh fails to break .500 once again. I will be the first to say that Clint Hurdle is doing a fine job, and it is amazing that they are at .500 as of this writing, but the bats need to come alive.
Pittsbugh has struggled mightly in the past against the American League. They took two out of three from Detroit, although have dropped the first two to the Tribe. They better come around because they play AL clubs the rest of the month, including Boston at PNC Park the last weekend of June. Should be a tough series, but you never know with the battling Buccos. I said that against Philadelphia and they won the series.
Enjoy your Father's Day.
