Musings

The Pittsburgh Pirates certainly hit a brickwall at July 31... They had been so fun to watch up until that point. It had been the first time in years that I was still watching every game that late in the season.

But they have returned to their normal form of the last 18 years since August 1st. Its a shame really. They were doing so well.

I wonder if it has anything to do with about that time, they shipped off a couple of young relievers that were doing well for a couple of veterans.

And their left fielder who had been hitting the cover off was injured shortly before.

At least the Pirates were good for a larger part of the season this year. That's a vast improvement.
