Hey the Pirates are now 69-66 on the year ... if you don't count the 10-game losing streak!

Those 10 days ruined the season.

Pirates started Keller, Jones and Skenes.

Pirates averaged 7.7 runs per game.

Pirates were swept.

Most Pirates series ever.

Pirates out-hitting the Padres, 5-0.

But trailing, 1-0.

Classic Pirates.

Couple of thoughts ... * First of all, I am basically stunned at 48-48 and just 1.5 games out of playoff position. * Pirates are 29-23 (.558) over the last 2 months, dating back to May 16.

How in the world did the Pirates go 15-12 between May 16 and June 16 ???

Here's what bothers me to no end ... the Pirates were off on Monday. Every player had a DAY OF REST 3 days ago. That's why teams get an occasional day off. God forbid that Gonzalez plays THREE DAYS IN A ROW !!!!! if the team has a day off during the week, then you don't need to be resting players. I...

Impressive that the Pirates have won 6 of 9 and of the 3 losses, one was on a brutal call at home plate to decide a game, and in the other two they led by 4 runs in the 8th inning before having a bullpen meltdown. So, bottom line, except for 2 bullpen disasters, this team has controlled 8 of the las...
