I think you're right. The NL Central is going to be exciting next year!

I'm already looking forward to Spring Training 2014!

One mistake to Freese and no run support was the tale last night. Was still a solid effort from the rookie.

Cheers to you, koz-man! You're definitely a class act! :cheers:

I wish this game started earlier, these next 4 hours will take forever it seems...

LET'S GO BUCS!!! :an_clap:

Gerrit Cole and the Buccos at +140 tomorrow? Thank you very much! :grrr:

I may wait though. I have a feeling this line will get much closer to +150 before first pitch...

Yeah, that RBI single was huge and set the tone for the game.

I have no doubt that he'll be ready for Game 5 if it comes down to that...

Gerrit Cole has looked simply awesome through 4 today in St. Louis. :an_clap:

This kid is mature beyond his years...

I only see him getting better and better.

He should be a horse for the Buccos for many years to come...

Stud! He also went 1-3 at the plate with 2 RBI's...

Haha! I had a feeling you would catch what I did there, koz-man! :laugh:

Cheers! :cheers:

No doubt! It would be awesome to see a rematch between the two in late October... :thumbsups

Gerrit Cole painted a masterpiece tonight as he and the Buccos beat Darvish and the Rangers, 1-0...

No doubt, Robber! Usually this time of year all you hear about is Steelers Training Camp.

This year, all the talk is about the Buccos and I absolutely love what is happening this summer!

Yeah, I hope it continues. It's great seeing all the seats filled at PNC for games other than Opening Day. :grrr:

Thanks, we had a blast just not the result we would have liked to see.

:laugh: I just noticed the last part of your post! Nice one, koz-man! :laugh:

Going to see him throw tonight @ PNC against the Rockies. Let's Go Bucs!!!

Cole with yet another strong outing in a tough-luck loss to Miami on Sunday.

Very true. Imagine Cole tossing up a mid-80's MPH changeup when the hitter is sitting fastball... :surrender:

Great matchup this afternoon in Miami between Cole and Fernandez.

PIT: Cole (5-3, 3.51 ERA)
MIA: Fernandez (6-5, 2.74 ERA)


These are two young stud pitchers who should have great MLB...

Very good points. Cole hit 99.1 MPH in the bottom of the 7th the other night in Washington.

I've noticed he adds several MPH to his fastball when he has a hitter down 2 strikes.

I love the...

Cole painted a masterpiece last night as the Pirates defeated the Nationals, 5-1 in D.C.

Pretty decent first half for Cole, in my opinion.

He finished with a 4-3 record and a 3.89 ERA. His WHIP is 1.30

Cole has 25 punch outs in 41.2 innings

Cole is a strong favorite today against the Mets. I like it! :grrr:

Cole with another strong, quality start tonight. Unfortunately, he got no run support.

Cole suffered his first MLB loss as the Pirates fell to the Phillies yesterday.

Not a terrible outing, his strikeout count was up and he hit +100 MPH on the gun a few times.



Pittsburgh...

No way! Cole is a keeper. He'll be a Pittsburgh Pirate for many years to come...

The Cole Train keeps rolling along! After a rough 1st inning, he settled in nicely and took over...

Anticipating a full house at PNC Park tonight as Gerrit Cole and the Buccos host the Brewers @ 7:05

Weather could be an issue as the rain and storms continue to linger throughout the area...

This kid has lived up to all the hype so far and then some...

I wish you both were right! Leake was strong and Liriano, very uncharacteristically, gave up 4 long balls.

Absolutely, Stallion! So far, so good...

Big series starting tonight between the Pirates and Reds. I wonder if there will be a brawl or two? :an_fight:

Greinke and Cole duel today at PNC Park. Weather does not look good, could be a delay at some point this afternoon.

The Buccos are slight favorites and the O/U is sitting at 7.

What a great day to be a Pittsburgh Pirates fan! :an_dance:
