Posted on 22 May 2012 by Aryn Ouellette.
Tuesday night's game between the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates wasn't kind to third basemen, David Wright. Wright, who has been on fire since the season has begun, went 0-4, with three strike outs in the Mets win.

Pittsburgh Pirates Struggle Against Divisional Opponents
Posted on 7 May 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Up until this week, the Pittsburgh Pirates were the only team in the majors to not score more than five runs in a game.

Pirates Fall to Phillies on Walk-Off Home Run
Posted on 8 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Michael Dubee was going to be a long shot to make the roster, but the outcome today did not help his slim hopes. Dubee came on to pitch the tenth inning, which was most likely going to be the last inning no matter what. Luis Montanez was the first batter scheduled to face Dubee, and was also the last. Montanez hit a walk-off home run off of Dubee to propel the Philli...

Pirates Set For Seven Game Road Swing
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
For the first time since 2005, the Pittsburgh Pirates were .500 on Mother’s Day. This feeling didn’t last long, unfortunately. The Pirates dropped two-of-three from the Los Angeles Dodgers at PNC Park. The final game was postponed due to rain on Thursday. Possibly a bigger story than the Pirates reaching .500 was the fact that star centerfielder Andrew McCutchen didn’t run after being str...

Pirates .500 After Weekend Series With Astros
Posted on 8 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
What does .500 generally mean for any sports club? The answer is mediocrity. To the fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates, though, it means much more. The Pirates haven’t been .500 since 1992, coincidentally the final year of the Barry Bonds era in Pittsburgh. As of today, the Pirates are 17-17 after taking two-of-three from the bottom feeding Houston Astros. They received three quality starts from ...
