As the title suggests, our beloved Buccos finally did what they've been unable to do for 17 almost 2 years; win a 3 game set against cry'n Ryan Braun and those dreaded Milwaukee Brewers. On a day where it was all but certain that my favorite Laroche was outed out of Pittsburgh, the boys sent sweet Adam out on a winning note.
This game had all the excitement of a great game. There were the 5 home runs by the Pirates; 3 homers in one inning lead by some steller defensive plays by both teams and some great bullpen pitching by both teams as well. What can I say, Cutch happens?! Andrew McCutchen not only had a home run but also some great hits and caughts in center field. Then there is Garrett Jones! Mr. Jones had several fantastic hits w/ another deeeeeep homerun! And I have to mention my favorite catcher; Ryan Doumit! Since coming off of a 2 month broken wrist rehab stint, Doumit has done so much better than anyone expected. He alone hit 2 home runs in yesterday's win. But by far the best plays of the game were in both halves of the 9th when the Big Bull Rider himself aka Matt Capps, came in and was able to get both Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder to strike out to end a scoring threat in the top of the 9th. Then 5 minutes later on a 0-1 pitch, Brandon Moss showed the Pirate nation why Neil Huntington and John Russell like him and keep giving him a chance to wear a Pirate uniform. He slammed relief pitcher Stetter's pitch into the bullpen. With the entire Pirate's been jumping w/ arms in the air, it was proclaimed a home run. PIRATES WIN, PIRATES WIN!
Not only was it sweet revenage to take this series from those whiners in Milwaukee but it was freakn' great to see our boys throw the whole un-tuck their jersey tops right in front of the Brewers. See that's what the Brewers are known for. When they win a game, they promptly un-tuck their uni's. It was great fun I say!
