PIRATES GAMEDAY 162: Brewers


The last game of the season, so make it a good one. No matter what, the Bucs cannot finish in last place this year, but they can clinch 4th place outright with a win or a Cubs loss. There will be a tie for 4th otherwise.

Starting Pitchers
Jeff Locke (0-2, 4.97 ERA)
Zach Greinke (15-6, 3.86 ERA)



Let's Go Bucs.

PIRATES GAMEDAY 161: Brewers

The Pirates will try for the series win in Milwaukee for the first time in a long time. They will also be using their 8th (9th?) catcher of the season to do it, Matt Pagnozzi.

Starting Pitchers
Ross Ohlendorf (1-3, 8.29 ERA)
Randy Wolf (13-10, 3.61 ERA)

PIRATES GAMEDAY 159: Brewers

The Pirates have one last chance to take down the Brewers in their own field before the season is over. It's fitting that this last series is in the House of Horrors, as the Pirates season has been a house of horrors since the 19-inning game. End on a good note with some #ElectricStuff.

Starting Pitchers

Charlie Morton (10-10, 3.67)
Sean Marcum (13-7, 3.31)

The Dodgers have been playing much better lately, and the Pirates have not played well against them all season. Add in Ross the Boss and the prospects are not terribly great for this game. It will probably take a lot of offense to win this one. Please beat Mr. "Years of Upside."
