Recap: The Finale. BUCS LOSE.

Pirates 3, Brewers 7
Yes, this recap is late, sorry about that. Not a great way to end the season, but against a playoff team, not getting swept might be considered a victory. As much as I hate to say it, the Brewers look like a very complete team and have a good chance to go all the way this year. I think Phillies-Brewers for the NLCS should be an interesting matchup, although I'll still root for the DBacks, Rays, and Tigers to make it to the Fall Classic.

As for this game, Neil Walker was the only real offense of note, as he went 2 for 4 with 2 doubles. Derrek Lee also had a double, possibly his last hit in a Pirates uniform. Jeff Locke took the loss after giving up 5 ER in 4.0 innings. He gave up 3 home runs in the process. Sorry kid, but you're not quite ready to stick in the majors just yet. Maybe in a couple more years.
