LOL---Pirates turn a Triple play and lose, Navy does the same and wins.
Edwin Encarnacion hit a blooper into short left that was easily caught by Jack Wilson , who threw to Freddy Sanchez at second base to double up Phillips. By then, Bruce was already at second, and Sanchez threw to first baseman Adam LaRoche to complete the triple play.

''I didn't know it was a triple play,'' Phillips said. ''I thought it was a bloop to left, and I was running to touch home plate.''

It was the first triple play for the Pirates since Aug. 10, 1993, at St. Louis, and the first time the Reds had hit into a triple play since April 21, 2007, against Philadelphia.

U.S. Navy snipers fatally shot three pirates holding an American cargo-ship captain hostage after seeing that one of the pirates "had an AK-47 leveled at the captain's back," a military official said Sunday.

3. Well,
I suppose I could find something racist of homophobic in what you said! Barry Bonds did play for the Pirates!
