The Pirates can testify that the Phillies are no longer a joke.

Jung Ho Kang is returning to the Pirates! He was granted his work VISA that will permit him to enter the United States.

What an excellent first start for tall Nick Kingham. He almost pitched a perfect game, but gave up a single in the 7th. The Pirates set a club record for wins in the month of May. First place to boot after sweeping their former Daddy's, the Cards.

Following the sweep of the Cardinals, it was disaster in DC.

What a comback. The Bucs score 4 runs in the top of the 9th inning to beat the White Sox 6-5.

The Bucs fall one game short of a 3 game sweep of the Giants. Cutch received numerous standing ovations on his first return.

Starling Marte is placed on the 10 day DL with a strained oblique. Marte is replaced on the active roster by Austin Meadows. Meadows got 2 hits in his first game with the Pirates last night.

Meadows has played great while the team has been drubbed lately. Polanco will not be sent down to AAA. He has played bad at all facets in the game. The Bucs have struggled with good competition and likely be under .500 within a week.

Jung Ho Kang starts his comeback in the minors. Won't be long before he is back with the Pirates.

31-32. So much for the fast start in April.

Ivan Nova set a Pirates record by allowing 5 HR's in one game. The Dodgers completely crushed the Bucs in a 3 game series, outscoring them 32-7. Yes Tes, so much for that fast April start. No player should be spared at the trade deadline. Cervelli should be the ASG rep, but he is on the DL. Maybe Nova can be picked to pitch the HR Derby or Steven Brault can go to sing the National Anthem.

The Pirates are on the verge of sweeping a 5 game home series against the Brewers. Polanco and Marte are smacking HR's left and right. Felipe Vasquez starting to pitch like a quality closer again.
