Recap: 19th Nervous Breakdown. BUCS LOSE.

For the 19th season in a row, the Pirates have failed to reach the 82 win mark. Despite the daunting record, there were many positives to take away from this season. From the 3 Pirates' All Stars to leading the division in mid-July, this season offered a lot of hope for the future, more than there has been in a long time. As for the game itself, it was pretty heartbreaking. Many times, the Pirates seemed poised to pull off a comeback, but it just never happened. Derrek Lee continues to be hotter than sliced bread, though, as he went 3 for 4 with an RBI double. Alex Presley went 2 for 4 with 2 doubles, one of which was the Pirates' other RBI. The Bucs will make their last west coast road trip of the year to visit the Dodgers and the Dbacks for 4 and 3 games respectively.
