Jeff Karstens was pitching a fairly great game no runs given up just a few hits scattered over 7 innings and then once again the bullpen let the game slip away Resop left one out over the plate for Chris Young and he blasted on for a two run shot. That was all it required tonight as the Buccos couldn't get anything going like they have the last 2 nights. The pirates did get a smattering of hit but just couldn't put a few together to plate any runners. On the plus side again we took 2 of three from what was a division leader and their is reason for real optimism in the Burgh. If a few of the bats stay hot like Cutch, Tabata, Walker and Xavier Paul this teams run production is bound to go up. Esspecially when Alverz and Doumit can come back and get get warm quickly. This team is one or two players from actually contending for the division. I know that sounds crazy looking at the standing right now but the pitching is that good. The hitting is bound to catch fire at some point. Lets see if we cant rough up the Mets tomorrow at home and give Gee his first loss of the year and get back to .500
