Kovacevic: Defensive lapse costs Pirates in latest loss to Cardinals

ST. LOUIS -- Fire everyone.

Yeah, the Pirates lost yet again, 3-1 to the Cardinals on this Saturday night, extending this latest streak to seven games, the record since the All-Star break to 4-23 and the overall record to a season-worst 20 games under .500 at 48-68. And digging anew through the history books, this is the franchise's second-worst 27-game stretch in Major League Baseball's modern era, meaning from 1900 onward. The only one worse was a 3-24 in 1952.

I'll say it again: Fire everyone. The very most Bob Nutting could do is sell.
