That stinks! (7-14)

The Pirates absolutely blew a game today. McCutchen had two hits (1 a homer), two RBIs, and a run scored. Tabata had two hits and a run scored. Walker had a hit, Jones had a hit, Alvarez had a hit and an RBI. Milledge had two hits (1 a homer), a run, and an RBI. Even Cedano had a hit and a run scored. Paul Malholm had a quality start by going 7 strong. The Pirates are up by two going into the 8th inning. The Pirates have to win those games.

Hanrahan gave up a run, and "Doh"tel made an appearance and the game was tied. Then even Evan Meek failed, and the Brewers took one that should have been ours.

Just to make matters worse, every Pirate minor league team lost tonight as well with the possible exception of the Dominican Summer League Pirates who have yet to play as of the writting of this post. Von Rosenburg took the loss for State College, although he only allowed one run in 5 innings and struck out 4 and only walked one. Cain gave up two runs in 4 innings, struck out 5 and walked 2. So, if we are looking for good news there were some nice performaces by prospects, just no wins.
