Other than that, what did you like about the play Mrs. Lincoln?
Every Pirate game seems to be an adventure. You are never sure what will happen. Could we see something historic or moronic? Will there be a big surprise or will it follow the script?
Tonight was one of the nights where you may not have seen it coming, yet at the same time is somewhat expected. Paul Maholm was absolutely horrible and he readily admitted that after the game. Well at least he is honest if not effecive. In only 1 full inning pitched, he gave up 7 runs, 5 earned, while walking 4. Yes he did only get three outs.
It is a good thing that Maholm pitched so poorly, as it covered up the fact that Dana Eveland is not able to pitch. In 2.2 innings pitched, Eveland gave up 6 runs. So much for him thinking that he might be the spot starter in Zach Duke's absence.
I really cannot say much else, as this is simply put unbelievable, but at the same time completely believable. I'd say that pretty much sums up a good deal of what being a Pirate fan is like.

Facing that lineup in that ballpark is no easy task for anybody in Maholm's defense. Hamilton is absolutely crushing the ball right now.
Mike, it's just like we talked about the other day, it's exhuasting. We spend all this time defending the pirates for firing a pierogi and explaining why it was OK to trade Jack Wilson etc. al. Then, of course, the pirates pull out a performance like this 13 run embarassment (and lets not forget that three of the pirates good releivers had to pitch to avoid a 20 run debacle).
This is Exhibit A of why it is so exhausting being a Pirates fan. You are correct. Leave it to them to do something that words cannot describe.
