Veras does the job to keep the shut-out going. Need two more good innings from the bull-pen. I've had Walker in both days on my Fantasy team.

Wuh-roh. Bit of an eighth inning meltdown. Not good.

3 run lead to start the 8th, the relief pitcher should be one of your best, and he walks the first batter - bad omen!

Solid effort marred by a bullpen meltdown in the eighth inning. Hopefully, that's just a fluke sub-par performance by Meek, as he's one of the team's top guys.

Well, time for the rubber match. Ohlendorf going for the Pirates. Some stupid fuck for the Cubs. Time to start getting a buzz and watching some baseball!

Ronnie Cedeno drives in Alvarez to make the score 1-0 Pirates in the top of the second. Diaz is on third, but with two outs and a pitcher who was just announced as 6-92 for his career...I'd be surprised if they got more.

Alvarez drives in a run to make it 2-0. He's 2-2 so far today, which is good to see, as he hadn't hit all that well the first two games.

Cubs tied it at 2-2 in the fourth after Ohlendorf had pitched three very strong innings. Could have been worse though. Bases loaded with no one out and then 2-2 with second and third, also with no one out.

Overbay with an RBI single to put the Pirates back on top in the fifth. Team is playing small ball. 10 hits, all singles.

Cubs tied it up in their half of the fifth. Ohlendorf's struggled the last two innings and I think the pitcher spot is up to bat for the Pirates this inning, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's hit for.

They left Ohlendorf in. The Cubs got a homer. 4-3 now.

FUCK!!! Bases loaded with one out, Tabata flies out and Jaramillo is thrown out trying to get home. Still 4-3 entering bottom of eighth.

Buccos threatening in the top of the 9th. Runners on 1st and 2nd - no outs.

Cedeno made that nerve-racking with his blunder, but a great DP for the win!

2-1 after three games! I'll take that!

I do have to say that Castro kid is pretty damn amazing, even if his defensive overaggression cost them the deciding run. He just flat-out hit the ball.

4/3/11 is this the last day of the season the Buccos have a winning record?
