BaseBrawl tomorrow and Sunday

[Calzone Lord]

In this 3 game weekend series, ten different times a batter was hit-by-a pitch.

Pirates pitchers hit 6 Reds batters.

Reds pitchers hit 4 Pirates batters.

They may have lost the series 2 games to 1 ... but that was a victory. You can't back down when someone tries to bully you.

Especially when you're a franchise that has had a losing record every season during both the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama presidency.

The last time the Pirates had anything other than a losing season, George Herbert Walker Bush was president.

I love this team this year. The last two years, it felt like I was rooting for a handicapped child.

This years team is no handicapped child. They're much deeper, and way more talented in the bullpen. They've also showed a lot more of an edge this year.
