that may be true. However, Having Martinez go down at the same time with same exact injury is a helluva concindence. Maybe all the pitchers need to build up those muscles? [Reply]
seems to me that your team is over performing the expectations that most people had for this years Pirates team.
You can’t really complain about loses when you only score 1 run through 8 innings. I know this because we are usually on the other side of these losses. [Reply]

I remember in 2011 we had to go to ATL and face this young phenom that had been killing teams all season. We stood no chance. Then we won and had to go to Philly and face the best playoff starting rotation ever according to the media. Went down to a winner take all pitchers duel between two long time friends. We won that one too.
We had no business winning any of those games or series. We sucked most of the year. Stumbled into the playoffs. Barely made it in. No one who posts in this thread thought we had a chance to win anything. We were just going to get embrassed.
Your year will come sometime. Pitt fans deserve one. [Reply]

Regarding Atlanta, are you talking about the 2012 Wild Card game? That was when the Cardinals faced Kris Medlen, who was a soft-tossing piece of shit that rode good luck to a superficially nice second half, but he was not a young phenom. [Reply]

Yeah.
The Cardinals faced the Astros the last series of the season while Philly played at Atlanta.
