After their 7-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday, they've lost ten games in a row. And it's only going to get better as the week goes on when they head to San Francisco to take on the reigning World Series Champion Giants on Monday for a three-game series. Oh, the humanity.
Speaking of suckery, Sunday's failure completed an 0-7 homestand at PNC Park against the last-place Padres and Chicago Cubs, two teams that were a combined 39 games under .500 when the week began. Those guys out-scored the Bucs 59-25 after they were swept in Philadelphia to kick off the week.
This marks the first time ever in the history of their franchise -- that's 125 years -- that they've ever gone winless on a homestand of at least seven games. In fact, no team in the big leagues has had a homestand that long without a win since Kansas City sucked ass back in May 2006.
Just terrible.
The odd thing is, the Pirates were leading their division as recently as July 26. Bizarro! Just goes to show you anything can happen in the game of baseball.
