The Grandstander went Old School tonight and chose to bypass the HD flatscreen and listen to the Pirates game while sitting on the back deck with a cold brew and a transistor radio. It was rather pleasant to do so, and it brought back a lot of memories of simpler times while sitting on the front porch at 4224 Saline Street. If I closed my eyes, I could almost hear the bell ringing on Artie's Ice Cream truck.
OK, so now, in addition to going Old School, I have also gone Rick "Things That Aren't there Anymore" Sebak on you.
As for the game itself, Steve Blass made the comment that it is amazing how quickly a ball game can change. Charlie Morton cruises through five innings with a 1-0 lead, and in the sixth inning, in the space of about three minutes and a dozen pitches, it all unraveled. Oh, well, that's baseball.
The good news is that the Cardinals are also getting drubbed as I type this, and the Bucs should still be 1 and 1/2 games out of first place by the end of the night (albeit in third and not second place, as the Hated Brewers won this afternoon).
Three with the Cubs coming up, and another series win is certainly obtainable.
