Gene Collier: Sleepwalk at plate continues for Pirates

By Gene Collier / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Wait, is this one of those You-Snore-As-The-Pirates-Snore promotions?

No, that can’t be; it’s You-SCORE-As-The-Pirates-SCORE — that’s the gimmick, as when the club discounts tickets by a buck (get it?) for every run the team scores in a particular series.

The grand total for this series with the Cincinnati Reds after two of the three games — 1.

Technically, that promotion is not in effect for this series, not that it matters. You probably would be glad to fork over $1 to avoid watching the Pirates in their current state.
