To those few who remember when the Pirates were good, yesterday’s game held some attraction. Apparently, back in 1960, Pittsburgh beat New York in the World Series. Huh. I can’t imagine that possibility occurring again for at least 10 years. Heck, it’s hard to imagine the Pirates being lucky, let alone good.
But the Pirates didn’t suck yesterday and pounded the Yankees. Only 3 of the Pirates’ 12 runs came from the homer, a two-run shot from Jose Bautista and a solo shot from Ryan Doumit. Just lots and lots of hits. When you get 19, they don’t have to be timely.
