Waste might be an understatement. And toxic waste may not be politically correct. But the Pirates wasted the night tonight.
This is a waste that only Shakespeare's 129th sonnet can come close to describing. Go for it 'Bill
"The expense of spirit in a waste of shame"
Garret Jones hit his 4th homer of his very young career. 4 out of his 11 hits at that point were homers.
"Mad in pursuit and in possession so"
Delwyn Young came through with a two run homer and Ryan Doumit hit two doubles.
"Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust"
Andrew McCutchen hit a two run homer to push the envelope. of waste.
"Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream."
Ross Ohlendorf gave up only 3 runs on 5 hits. He had five wasted strikeouts and some great pitches.
"Enjoyed no sooner, but despised straight"
Andy LaRoche had a double and triple, and scored a wasted run.
"On purpose laid to make the taker mad"
I believed in them. I thought this win was in the bag. And yet, the Pirates, accompanied by Matt Capps, find a way to blow such an offensive explosion by giving up 4 runs in the ninth.
"All this the world knows, yet none knows well"
I guess I should have seen it coming. But I like rooting for the Pirates, not awaiting their bloody downfall. It's disheartening.
Look, everyone knows Shakespeare is probably talking about masturbation in this sonnet, but for now, it seems perfectly clear that he wrote this following last night's loss. The lines are shuffled but you catch his drift. What a waste.
