CINCINNATI -- Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Chicago Cubs' skipper David Ross' comment that Pittsburgh is "not a good team" was "unfortunate."
Ross made his comment after after the Pirates' 8-6 win over the Cubs on Thursday at Wrigley Field, their second straight victory over Chicago.
"That's not a good team that just took two out of three from us -- or not our caliber team, I believe," Ross told reporters.
Shelton laughed when a reporter wondered before Pittsburgh's game at Cincinnati on Friday if the Pirates manager had seen the comment.
