Time To Put Up or Shut Up
by SteveK
Until Bob Nutting is willing to spend the money, all the offseason talks will remain smoke and mirrors.

Are You Having Fun Yet?
By Richard A. Mathews
If you have been living in a cave the past four months, you will not believe how your Battling Bucco’s are playing.
No matter the results in Philly this weekend, your Pirates will begin the month of August with more wins than losses.

DeJa Vu, 97 Maybe Not!
By Richard A. Mathews
It is way past time to wake up.
Dreams are great but 2011 can’t be a Freak Show repeat can it?
Okay, I’ll agree that Karstens, Maholm, Morton, Correia and McDonald are pitching a great deal as did Lieber, Schmidt, Cordova, Loiaza and Cook.
Sure, it has been fun to watch this rotation post a 2-run per game drop in era from last year but really can it continue.
Did anyone see Jeff – nobody wants me in the rotation – Karstens suddenly throwing shutouts putting together a staff low 2.66 era?

Please Don’t Wake Me Up – I’m Enjoying this Dream
By Richard A. Mathews
Please don’t wake me up, I’m enjoying this dream.
A Pittsburgh Pirate team whose starting pitchers are leaving the game in the sixth, seventh, eighth or even ninth inning handing the baseball off with a lead.
A Pittsburgh Pirate team whose relief pitchers are giving the club a chance to come back and holding off late games rallies.
A Pittsburgh Pirate team whose closer is 10 for 10 in save attempts.

Pirate Preview 2011
By Richard A. Mathews
So let’s get the Old Guy Jokes out of the way first, yes I am now an AARP card carrier, I earned it.
But let me ask you how many remember the last Pirate Team to post a record almost as bad as the Bucs were in 2010?
To me that team seems like it was only playing yesterday finishing the season at 64-98.
For as bad as the 1986 club was on April Fool’s Day 1987, the few Bucco fans willing to admit as much, were shocked when Tony Pena was traded to the Cards for three guys named Van Slyke, Lavailliere and Dunn.

Who will be the next manager of YOUR Pittsburgh Pirates?
It’s November and we live in Pittsburgh. I know almost nobody is thinking about baseball, but here I am writing a column about it. Weird, I know. Something needs to be said and I am going to be the one to say it. Who should be the Pittsburgh Pirates manager in 2011? My answer is, does it really matter?

Thursday, October 13, 1960---Game 7 of the 1960 WS got underway about 1 p.m. Bob Turley (1-0) vs Vern Law (2-0). It was Law’s 3rd start, again pitching on 3 days rest, and still with a sprained ankle. Murtaugh indicated that if Law could give him 5 to 6 innings, he’d bring in Friend and Face from there. Bobby Richardson led off for NY, making him the 5th different lead-off hitter for Casey Stengel in the 7 game series. Stengel had also used Kubek, Cerv, McDougald and Boyer in that role. Catcher Elston Howard was out for the game with a hand injury sustained in game 6 when he was hit by a pitch.

Wednesday, October 12, 1960---Trailing 3 games to 2, the Yankees had to win at Forbes Field in game 6 to stay alive. Bob Friend had an easy first inning, getting Clete Boyer on a comebacker, Kubek on a grounder to Mazeroski and Maris on a fly to Virdon in CF. Virdon opened the bottom of the first with a single off Ford. But Groat bounced into a Richardson-to Kubek-to Skowron DP. Clemente singled but Stuart struck out.

Tuesday, October 11, 1960---The teams were off as they headed back to Pittsburgh where Bob Friend (0-1) would take on Whitey Ford (1-0). The Pirates, surprisingly up 3 games to 2 after taking 2 of 3 in Yankee Stadium, now needed only to split the 2 remaining games in Pittsburgh to win it all. Bill Mazeroski (6 for 18) led the Pirates at .333 and had their only HR (in game 1) so far. Tony Kubek (9 for 22) led NY at .409. The Yankees had received HRs from Mantle (3), Maris (2), Howard, Richardson and Skowron.
