This post is for the Thursday May 17th game at Washington.

Today's Pitchers:

RHP James McDonald (2-2, 2.42) vs. Nationals RHP Jordan Zimmermann (2-3, 2.14)

The Game Rules:

[ A ] Please put your prediction in the title line which should begin in the format: Pirates xx Opponent xx

e.g. Pirates 5 Nationals 3

Putting the Pirates score first, then the opponents score makes tallying points much easier.

[ B ] Please make the full prediction, instead of a "+1" to someone else whose prediction you agree with

[ C ] Don’t worry about minor spelling mistakes, like "Piartes". We can handle those.

PERFECT GUESS 5 POINTS NAILING ONE TEAM SCORE 2 POINTS

Congratulations to ibuc05 for correctly guessing the Pirates score. I am also awarding creativity points, which along with a lot of money will get you some form of coffee, to Merle1989 for most closely predicting the actual score of Pirates 2 Nationals 23 (that was a typo right?).

Good Luck and Go Bucs!
