Oh, no!

I didn't particularly like the Pirates game last night.

Nate McLouth, the team's lone bright spot this season, suffered through his first hitless game of '08. Not only that, he was called out trying to steal second when he clearly was safe.

And the Pirates' pitching staff gave up only two runs. I was looking for another 10-plus outing, to keep that earned-run average floating skyward.

If you're going to be bad, you may as well do it on an historic level!
