Time flies

Less than a week ago, we were wondering just what kind of cosmic forces were in play that had moved the Pirates to four unlikely wins in a row and a 7-6 record. Today Zach Duke takes the mound to try and keep the Pirates from making a full turn of the rotation without a win. This losing streak has been ugly, coming at a combined 35-6 score with the Pirates only playing competitively in one game of the four. Another loss or two along those lines, and this streak will be getting up there with the most frustrating in the history of this blog.
