Bad, very bad!
Why the gently caress is Ventura throwing 120 pitches in a 7-0 game? It was like 3 weeks ago he had to sit a game because of something or other.

E:Oh sweet Jesus.

yes it's clearly the pirates who have chosen to stop pitching at the worst time and not the team who entered their series 1.5 games out the second wild card slot and decided to put up an era of 12.70 in their last 17 IP

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Of any team that could possibly beat the Cards in the postseason, the Pirates doing so would bug me the least by far.

Glad to see that they're good again.

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
