This post is for the Thursday, July 5th, game in Pittsburgh.

Today's Pitchers:

Bud Norris (5-5, 4.90) vs. RHP Jeff Karstens (1-2, 5.25)

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 Astros 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

Update:

Da Wolf at the Door has had a very good week so far with one correct game guess and one correct team guess to take the weekly lead. God Loves is in second place and PixburghArn, joeygny, JSteelers86, pittbluedevil, and GermanBucco are tied for third.

Thanks for playing and Go Bucs!
