They are probably a step down from the AA and AAA teams Strasburg has been facing.
14 ks? Hey it's the Pirates where theoretically it could have been 27! Or 28 if you are Armando Galarraga with Jim Joyce behind the plate. So not so great an outing for Strasburg if you ask me. Sorry.
No walks? Hey it's obvious the Pirates aren't taking any pitches! Think about that! You can bet a team like the Braves will be more patient and only strike out like 12 times.
The guy is not Superman.
You wait until that Halloween guy gets out there and bats him all around.*
Calm down, ok?
*Look I know they are going to play on the same team but work with me here. No doubt the Halloween guy rips him apart in those simulation leagues.

You know, I was fine with the once in awhile barb in the direction of the Bucs. I was even OK with the once a week ribs at their expense. I started to get a little uncomfortable with the seemingly once a day references to their ineptitude's but was still OK with it. But multiple times in the same day? You're killing me, Smalls!!
Ok, let's start with a 48 hour cease-fire to start.
(But they can't do anything ridiculous during that time!)
I am going to see them play the Tigers Saturday so umm........
P.s. as a peace offering, there is a semi-positive post on a former Pirate up right now. I did not even mention anything about cocaine.
I appreciate your journalistic restraint.
