Following the series sweep of the Chicago White Sox, the Pittsburgh Pirates are finishing the first half of the season with a .500 record, and are sitting just 1.5 games back in the Wild-Card race. A far cry from the preferred situation, but at this point in the year, it’s gotta be all smiles for Buccos fans.
To be frank, I couldn’t be happier with the way the team has been playing as of late. In their last 10, they are 7-3 with a four-game winning streak, and two players going to the All-Star Game in Arlington.
