Tonight's game in Flushing, NY started with the same optimism we all had for this year's Pirates team... full of promise only to be flushed away.

Future hall-of-famer Tom Glavine had as much control as a Tourettes Syndrome patient.

Mike Johnston
Career: 5.70 ERA, 0-3, 12 swear words/ip

Glavine walked the bases loaded with only one out. It didn't matter that Glavine had 298 wins going into this game, anyone on the mound would have looked like a HOF candidate when facing the Pirates offense. If you really are so dense to not expect what was about to happen, let me break it down for you pictorial style.


Gorzellany followed in the bottom of the first by attempting to impersonate Glavine. Three runs later we are reminded that Gorzy is no hall of fame pitcher. If you turned the game off at this point, you were far smarter than I.

To quickly summarize the rest of the game:

The Pirates no longer have any bright spots left in this season as Gorzy left with shoulder stiffness after giving up 6 runs.

Don't put Tony Armas back in the rotation!
Anything but that! We've suffered enough.

It certainly appears Jason Bay is heating up:


Highlight of the game was the seldom used behind and above home plate camera view. Why don't all stadiums install the "goal cam" like the NHL has mandated?

Without that view the world would never fully appreciate
the greatness that was "the save"
