Here we go again, as the 31-40 Pirates head into Safeco Field for a third consecutive night. After an impressive win Tuesday night, the Pirates looked pathetic in being shut down by Jeff Weaver last night, as the faltering starter threw a complete-game four-hitter shutout. Tonight, the Pirates face the phenom, Felix Hernandez. Hernandez has [...]

Well, needless to say, the sweep did not occur. That is asking way too much of these Pittsburgh Pirates, as even Tom Gorzelanny [...]
