April is over; Bucs are .500

As I mentioned a few posts ago, if the Pirates won three out of five of the last games in April they would be .500. The succeeded (barely). With slightly above average pitching and horrid, horrid defense and hitting, the Pirates are somehow .500.

As I said in that previous post, that's no big deal. The Pirates were right around .500 four of the six months of last year's season. They have shown absolutely no improvement so far. What the Bucs need now is a very positive month. May is a good month for that because all 14 road games of the month are against NL Central opponents (yikes!). Now is the time.

At 5-2 with two games to go, we have secured a winning record for the current homestand. What we need now is a win in one of these two Cubs games to win the series.

Ah, the Cubs still suck. How beautiful.
