PNC might well be the best ballpark in the game along with Oracle. One of the biggest keys to having a beautiful ballpark is not having so many seats in the outfield, and I believe that Pittsburgh and San Francisco did it just right. Most of the other new ballparks overdid it and gave their ballparks a multi-purpose look instead of a baseball look. Of course, building your ballpark right on the waterfront certainly helps.

The Poo-rates are 4th in batting average, 5th in runs scored, and 16th in ERA. How in the world is this team only 39-39? They do have a couple crappy starting pitchers and a dogshit bullpen so I'm guessing that's their undoing.

Tonight we're going up against Mitch Keller who in his last seven starts has pitched more like Helen, giving up 34 runs in 29 1/3 innings. if we can't break our eight-game three-runs-or-less scoring streak against the clowns we'll see on the bump tonight, someone needs to be fired.

In the last 33 years the Poo-rates have won a total of THREE playoff games, all in 2013. No matter how bad we think we have it, somebody has it a LOT worse.

And Raley too. That's actually a good-looking lineup even with Robles in Canzone's place.

Kirby after Castillo seems to be the most hittable of our rotation, just kind of wait around for a couple guys to get on base causing Kirby to crash and burn....
