That's Baseball

The Pirates are 4-2 this season against the Rockies, a .667 clip heading into this afternoons game in the Steel City.
Last night, after a dramatic 3-run 9th inning homer by Ian Stewart tied it and Todd Helton's 2-run jack to give the Rocks a 7-5 lead in the 10th, Colorado coughed it up as Pedro Alvarez hit a walk-off 3-run bomb off Huston Street. Bucs win 8-7 and just another devastating loss for the Rockies.
However, the Rocks should win today (but we'll see!). They are up 6-0 on the Pirates in the 2nd inning as Carlos Gonzalez (MVP consideration?) smacked his 25th homer, a 2-run job.
Still, the fact the Rockies didn't win at least 5 of the 7 games this year against the putrid Pirates is unexplainable other than to say, "that's baseball." It is certainly most unpredictable and no team exemplifies that more than the Rockies.
