I would have pulled him even before Rollins came up. bski: i am humbled now. you dont have to rub it in. can you believe that guy gave up another HR to Utley!! what a basket.  even I'm pissed and I dont root for the Marlins. another game where we get shut down by starting pitcher only to rally huge in the night when the game was handed to us by ‘only balls and HR’ Lindstrom.

WOW. Killer, killer stuff. That fastball is fantastic. </div> <div> </div> <div>But ho hum, only 7 runs in the 9th, another HUGE grand slam from Shane.

Th Pirates also scored some runs, 8 in game 1 and 7 in game 3, with a just good enough 3 runs in game 2.  One of the big things they did was that they scored first in every game.  Imagine that.  They won game 1 8-0, scored the first two runs in a 3-2 win in game 2, and jumped out to a 4-0 lead in a 7-4 win in game 3. So, after analyzing how the Pirates swept the Marlins, I predict that if we pitch and hit better than they do in each game we will sweep them, but if they pitch and hit better than us they will sweep us.  <strong>How's that, JKAY?</strong> At this point I can’t say we’re as good as the Pirates.  The main reason they swept the Marlins was pitching, which we’re not getting a lot of as yet.  Ohlendorf threw 7 innings of scoreless, 2-hit ball in game 1 and Karstens went 6 innings and gave up 3 hits and 1 run in game 2.  In game 3, Maholm gave them their worst start of the series, 6 innings, 8 hits, 4 runs, but they hit enough to make up for it.  Also, their bullpen was solid throughout.
