Astros 3 Pirates 0

They finally got today's game in, but probably only because they had to. It really would've been impolite for us to win. I mean, we made them hang around for longer then the length of a typical game (last night excluded), the least we could do is help them with their late playoff aspiriations. The players played like they didn't want to be at the park today. There were only 8 hits today, three by the 'Stros, and the whole thing only took 2:15 once it got started. It was nice to see Gorzellany make a solid start (his first since his return from the DL), but I wouldn't put much stock into what happened today. In a funny note, David Pinto at Baseball Musings said this about the game:

There's no one in the ballpark. It's so quiet you can hear the ball hitting the first baseman's mitt on the broadcast.

I think Pirate fans are ready for this nightmare of a season to finally be over.
