I was at this game with a Cleveland friend of mine, and it turned out to be a good one, and a win for our buccos, even if attendance wise, there seemed to be more support for the road side.  Starting pitchers Ross Ohlendorf and Cliff Lee were both solid, each allowing 2 earned over 7 innings.  Andrew McCutchen was the real star on this night though.  He went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs.  Forget about the walkoff single.  It was impressive, but his best at bat was the walk he drew in the seventh against Lee with the bases loaded.  Lee got ahead early 0-2, but from there ‘Cutch settled in, fouling off several pitches and taking a few other close ones to draw the walk and score the tying run.  All I have to say is wow.  To not get rushed, not get over agressive, against a cy young winner in that situation, wow!  At just 22, he has been nothing short of amazing so far.

I was at the concessions when Nyjer Morgan came to bat in the 6th, was hit by a pitch, and then JR was run for arguing it.  But even from the concessions, the fans were deafeningly loud when it happened.  Its a good thing JR was ejected and not T-Plush.  The HR Nyjer pulled back in the 8th clearly saved this game for the bucs.

The win moved the Pirates to 33-39 on the year as we head into a weekend series against KC.
