Astros 11 Pirates 1- More of the same

At the risk of sounding like a broken record...

Bad starting pitching, no offense, the inability to take advantage of a poor start from another pitcher, huge mental lapses in the field, no desire to play or win a baseball game, and a bad effort from the bullpen.

Oh, and despite his two hits, I'm not impressed with Duffy. He has a terribly weak swing and was fooled by several pitches from the struggling Backe in the at-bats that I saw.
