Normally I crack on the Pirates and deservedly so.
But this post is not to rip the Bucs but to praise them.
Tonight they got past the Mets 5-1. No big deal. A lot of teams are beating the Mets.
But Pittsburgh is now 25-28. While not much to brag about there this is a team that hasn't had a winning season since 1992. I don't think they'll do it but I'd like to see them make a run at winning 82 games.
Clint Hurdle is doing a fine job as manager and so is pitching coach Ray Searage. Searage, who I got to know when I was broadcasting minor league ball, must be happy with his starters. In the last 12 games, Pirates starters have allowed just two runs or less. Not bad. Go Buccos!
