    Magic Numbers

    The magic number is, as of this afternoon, 10.

    As of the conclusion of last night's game against the Diamondbacks, the Pirates have 72 wins, with about 6 weeks of the season left to go. 10 more wins guarantees them their first winning season in 20 years.

    You know, it's hard to send CW when you're keeping your fingers crossed...

    Yeah. Well, they can't lose them all. Not unless they play like they did this afternoon. Yuch.

    Magic number in August? Wow, just 10? It is almost in the bag. Remember the kick ass all season Red's these last few years. They win their division, and get killed in the first post season round. I am thinking about the no hitter served up by the Phillie's ace Roy Halladay. The second no hitter in post season history (we should all the the first). Hang in there Ron.

    Unless the Pirates collapse like the 1963 Phillies, I think .500 is in the bag. You should set your sights higher, Ron.

    As usual, ESPN is all Yankees, Dodgers, Rangers and BoSox. It's like the A's and Pirates don't exist.

    ESPN is having a collective orgasm over the Rangers and their recent streak, which coincidentally was against teams with the worst ERAs in the league. Wow, THAT'S impressive. ESPN didn't say diddly when the A's mowed through the NL East and Central.

    If I see the name "Yasiel Puig" one more time, I think I'm going to puke.
