    With the sweep of the Red Sox, the Pirates now have 82 wins on the season.

    I don't know why I was thinking 82 wins guaranteed no worse than a .500 season. THAT was taken care of last night, with win 81.

    TONIGHT guarantees a winning season. And more (I hope) to come.

    On the plus side regarding the Padres season, there are four MLB teams with worse W-L records than they have, and two of those teams are in their division. When you're a Padres fan, you have to take solace in little things.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Not that I'm unsympathetic, but...

    Remember that for 20 years, not only did I watch losing season after losing season... and after the 2nd place finish (even with a losing record) in 1997, the failure of 1998 REALLY stung... but I lived with a Pirate Fanatic, and have raised a daughter who is as fanatical as her mom (believe me, there is a BIG difference between Fan and Fanatic) who took it all very personally.

    I know it hurts, but trust me... you don't know what real pain is, sports wise. With any luck, you never will.

    The real sad part is, the 4 MLB teams with worse W/L records, all consist of Octogenarians.

    You could be an A's fan watching them sink like a stone at the end.

    Then again, the alternative might be to watch them do the same in the first round of the playoffs.

    The plunge came early this year, it appears.

    Ah, we saw that 2 seasons ago. And 3 seasons ago.

    Been there, done that, no thanks.

    OK, time for a reset.

    Today's magic number is 5. 5 and 9, to be precise, are the numbers.

    5 to clinch the playoffs.
    9 to win the division (unfortunately, the Cardinals magic number to do that is 8, but one thing at a time)
