There is no place like home! Game 108 will be the fourth in a stretch of 17 in which we will truly see if the Buc's are contenders. During this stretch, the Pirates will play 14 of 17 games against teams with winning records. This comes after the Pirates spent most of June and July beating up on sub .500 teams. Forgive the commentary, but I just wanted to say this, and it is not enough for a separate post.

This post is for the Monday, August 6th, game in Pittsburgh. On Tuesday expect the weekly wrap-up with season scores updated as of Sunday's game. I will post Wednesday's game on Tuesday (afternoon game) and start the new weekly scores on Wednesday

Today's Pitchers:

LHP Wade Miley (12-6, 2.98 ERA) vs. LHP Erik Bedard (5-12, 4.83 ERA)

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 Diamonbacks 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:

The next scores update will be on Tuesday.

Let's Go Bucs!
