BURNETT SHINES IN FIRST START

AJ Burnett made his Pirates debut on Saturday night against the Cardinals. It was his first start with the team since his bunting accident at the beginning of spring training. He didn't seem to lose much though in his time off. He pitched 7 scoreless innings for his first win of the season. Adding him to the Pirates already good rotation is just going to make us that much better. Know all they need is to get the offense going and then this team will really take off.

BUCCOS PITCHERS ROLLING, BATS ICE COLD

The Pirates pitchers have had a great start to the 2012 season. They are the only team that has not allowed more than 5 runs in any of their games. Unfortunately, the Pirate offense has yet to score more than 5 runs in any game, which i why their record stands at just 4-7. The bats really need to come alive soon if they want to win games this season. The pitchers are doing more than whats expected of them, its now time for the offense to as well.
