NEW YORK -- "When you're in a funk like this, it feels like when you pitch you don't hit, and when you hit you don't pitch. Maybe that's just how it's going."
That was Jacob Stallings, talking to me after the Pirates' seventh loss in a row, their ninth in 10 games, and their 13th in 15 games since the All-Star break. This one, Friday night at Citi Field, came by a 3-0 count to the Mets.
Maybe Stallings is right. Maybe that's just how it's going.
But how will it end?
