...and, here we go...
Pirates start the bottom of the ninth w/ a single. It's amazing how bad the Marlins have been in closing out the games in this series.

Game over...Martin delivers.
Pirates win 5 of 6 over Rockies/Marlins in Pittsburgh. Need Rockies to take at least one this weekend in Colorado from the Pirates.
Another walk-off win by the Buccos, ergo I am not leaving the house this evening.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

REDS need, yes, need, a sweep of the Padres in Cincinnati over the weekend. It's not that difficult as the REDS are a very good ballclub while the Padres are not.
Ah there it is.
Jeez, no collapse for the Buccos this year.
26 games over .500. The Jolly Roger is raised pretty high.
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
The Pirates are really starting to stick in my craw. And I'm not even sure what a craw is.

The Pirates have a horseshoe jammed firmly up their rear end.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Is this the Pirates year? I still don't know. I was curious if they were still hanging this late last year.
Last year, August 8, their record was 63-47, which tied their high water mark for the year. We shall see...........................

They're going on the road for three games in Colorado, who gave them a good series in Pittsburgh this last weekend. One loss in Colorado is a very strong possibility. Two losses in Colorado is not likely, but very possible.
McCutchen got the day off today, so he goes into Colorado rested.
