If anyone still doubts whether the Pittsburgh Pirates are legit, the Atlanta Braves in a convincing way to dissipate.
The Braves for 19 innings Tuesday / Wednesday fend off pirates annoying, and if not for a call, obviously carried away by home plate umpire Jerry Meals in the two parties can still be going at it now.
In a game that tied the longest in the majors this season, the Braves finally won the Julio Lugo scored from third on a grounder to third baseman Pedro Alvarez, whose throw home beat the hall of plenty. Catcher Mike McKenry hit apply a label, but meals Lugo called safe, much to the bewilderment of the Pirates and anger.

Catcher Mike McKenry hit apply a label, but meals Lugo called safe, much to the bewilderment of the Pirates and anger.
Replays showed that Lugo was out.
"I saw the label, but he seemed to OLED, and called him safe for meals,''he said." I looked at the replays and it looked like we could have him in the shin area. I suppose I could have done, but when I was there when it happened, I did not see a label. I just saw sweeping glove. I have not seen the glove hit his leg.''
At 6 hours and 39 minutes, this was the longest game in time for the Pirates and Braves had ever played. The conclusion raised the ire of Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle, who kept arguing even meals and the rest of the umpiring crew left the field.
"The game tonight deserves better than that,''Hurdle said.
The Pirates, now a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the Central Division, have won this season becomes an attempt to break a streak of 18 losing seasons is the longest in the history of the great American sports .
They had three representatives in the All-Star for the first time since 1990, and entered Tuesday's game with a 53-47 mark, a rotation of 17 games from 36 to 64 year's record after 100 games. The Pirates now have 10 more road wins last season 17 and is four victories short of the overall total of 57 last year.
Tuesday was the second game of a seven-game road against AL East powers Atlanta and Philadelphia Phillies figures to test the mettle of the Pirates. They won 3-1 on Monday and once again shows its belligerence in the marathon on Tuesday.
Even in victory, the Braves had little to celebrate. The Phillies won, keeping their division lead in a major league high six games, and All-Star catcher Brian McCann had to leave the game with a strained oblique muscle in the 10th inning, an injury that will force you to go to the disabled list.
These days, even wins against the Pirates have a Pyrrhic sense for them.
