Karstens vs. Tim Hudson

**Illusion** · 07-19-11, 12:16 AM

Even more rare that ESPN is broadcasting a team from either central division. It's either east coast or west coast.

Nobody is going to watch this. Terrible decision. I haven't watched them since they had bonds and bonilla.

Nice to read people enjoying the Pirates and the season that they are having. Go Bucs!!

**thetrinity** · 07-19-11, 12:44 PM

OTL special on the buccos at 3pm. too much attention.

**sports zone** · 07-19-11, 12:45 PM

Maybe they could get Sister Sledge to come back and perform.

Hope they win the division

Who plays in that game this week?

**triqy** · 07-19-11, 01:25 PM

Probably the story of the year in MLB, Pirates making a playoff run for the first time in aprox 20 years

Seems to me, Lakerjism is suggesting that this game is going to be "unreal". Go Bucs!!

**Manaconda** · 07-19-11, 01:37 PM

Happy for the loyal fans of them, much deserved

**Cranium** · 07-19-11, 01:57 PM

Go Buccos!!

**jhause13** · 07-19-11, 02:21 PM

Can't wait.. Getting off work and going to the bar to watch this game

**mcaulay777** · 07-21-11, 01:28 PM

To bad we wont see it here in Iowa Fox will give us the Cardnals,Sox or Cubs .YUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKK.I absolutly hate The Satruday game on Fox it is always regional coverage of those 3 times i mentioned.Why we see those teams all week long anyway.

**dise-pa** · 07-21-11, 04:22 PM

clint hurdle NL manager of the year!!!!!!

**HilltopTony** · 07-21-11, 05:32 PM

It's nice that a franchise with such a rich tradition is back in the national spotlight! It would be even better if they had a game at PNC to show off to a national audience

That's awesome. I wish they'd do one of these games from PNC.
