Can we lose to the Brewers forever? E-mail
Written by Pat Lackey

First things first: I passed my exam this afternoon, and so I may or may not be celebrating tonight instead of watching the Pirates.

Second: this losing streak against Milwaukee is officially epic. I think it has to cross the 15-game threshhold for that designation, and we're there. It's an epic, epic losing streak and it's taken on a life of it's own. No lead we have against the Brewers will be safe until we can close out a win. Ian Snell and Jeff Suppan ... that should be a favorable pitching matchup for us, right? WRONG! Until we break this streak, I'm going to be convinced that the ghost of Jackie Chesboro himself wouldn't stand a chance against the Brewers. No one loses this many games in a row to another team. NO ONE.

You suck, Snell. You can't break the Brewer curse. No one can break it.

(That's right, I'm even bringing the insult back to break this thing up.)

Well, blass walked under a ladder in the booth to try to break the streak last night, curious as to what shenanigans they'll do tonight.

I've already tried everything in my power, wore my mclouth jersey backwards, didn't watch the last 5 innings last night, asked family and friends for prayer, i dunno what else to do. Sacrifice a live chicken?

Time for smelly snelly to be 86ed. Ship 'im outta here!! The bleeding HAS to stop somewhere! This is downright embarrassing. I live in South Florida and I refuse to wear anything Pittsburgh Pirates-I'm embarrassed that I was born in their market. I wish I would have been born closer to Philly-they've been to the Series 3 times since our last one .(Is it 3 or 4?) I figured I'd still likely be a Steelers' fan even if I lived closer to Philly. I agree with another blogger I saw earlier-why does it seem like God IS against the Pirates? Somebody tell Bob Nutjob that greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Snell's line
5IP 5ER 5BB 2K
94pitches (51/43)

two of those runs were the two he walked sequentially in the 6th before Chavez served them in.

To answer your question: No.

The Neo-Pittsburgh Space Pirates will defeat the Provo Beverageers by a score of 4-3 on July 17th, 2058. The Space Pirates will carry their manager, Artificial Intelligence Unit: Van Slyke, off on their shoulders. Then the universe will implode.

But will Buck Bokai hit a home run for Neo-Pittsburgh? That's what I want to know.

snell sucks
snell has made 3 quality starts out of 6, but i feel like he's pitched pretty shitty in all but 1 game. he needs to pitch to every batter like he does to ryan braun.
