Exactly!!! 3 times this team was dead tonight and fought back. Tell me more about how average they are and have no killer instinct!
RAISE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cutch wanted to bitch about the ump, but didn't. Anybody who knows how he talks, though, understands what he didn't say.
Yes, he took the classy approach and didn't say what didn't need said....
The broadcast team gave the blown calls a thorough going over. This umpire crew should go back to the minors. But they won't.
Switching back and forth between the Phils and Pirates more and more. The Phillies might be(and probably will be) the worst team in modern baseball history once and if they trade Hamels. This should have never happened. Only incompetence or just outright stupidity of an amazing level could have allowed things to get this bad. The face of that incompetence is still trotting out there and saying stupid things.
Then I turn it to the Pirates and it seems like a miracle a night. This season is starting to seem like it has all you guys names written on it big time.

Funny things is, there are TONS of Pirates fans who unwittingly call for the Pirates to do exactly what the Phils did (trade away the system and sign untenable deals to aging players). Now, the Phils got a World Series out of it, so many would argue it was worth it. For a market the size of Pittsburgh, I argue they have to consistently remain smart to be successful long-term.
But every trade deadline when people have gone nuts saying the Pirates should be trading for [insert biggest name available for trade], they don't seem to realize that there's a long-term price to pay for that short-term potential gain. And the Phils currently embody that long-term price.
Agree although they are going to need something more offensively off the bench to win the division in my opinion, especially with JHay out for an extended period. Lombardozzi, Hart, Gorkys, Ishikawa, etc. just not going to cut it. Also I love Sean Rod's glove so he has a definite role, but is bat is big time sub-par. They need at least one more legit professional pinch hitter in my opinion. They shouldn't have to mortgage the future to get that.
Interesting...because 90% of the folks I talk to are the exact opposite - they absolutely DO NOT want the Pirates to mortgage the future by dealing legit prospects. To most Bucco fans I know, guys like Polanco (when he was coming up), Taillon, Glasnow etc are untouchable.....unless someone makes a crazy offer.
Even the second tier guys - Kingham, Bell, Hanson, etc are usually considered "untouchable" unless the offer is overwhelming.
Everybody is always looking for that cheap, playing-out-his-contract, rental at the trade deadline. But I really don't hear any Pirates fans calling for making some blockbuster package of prospects available for a guy like Hamels or Price or Cueto.
