20* Pittsburgh Pirates
Wow, talk about unbelievably bad luck yesterday. Going 1-2 with a 1-0 loss and a basketball team up 20.5 points going into the 4th quarter and losing 34-12. We will turn this ship around starting with the Pirates this afternoon. The Bucs CANNOT afford to get swept here. I know its only the first week of May but they already lost this series but they really need to salvage a game to minimize the damage. Losing 2 of 3 to the Cubs isn't a big deal, but getting swept at home is another story. The Buccos bring the lumber today and Nicasio delivers another quality start. Take the Pirates!
