Raise It !!!! 7-5 Bucco's

That is not possible. We do not win against teams in our Division. Still, you have never been wrong in this regard so....
How did this $hitty team that lost to the Cubs last night and was written off as not getting into the playoffs win tonight? I just don't understand how that can happen.
The spirits of Bob Prince, Rosie Rosewell, Roberto Clemente, and Ralph Kiner pulled them through.
+1 VERY important win to keep some distance between the Cubs, and take a little momentum into the weekend.
I have heard football coaches say you need to build your team to win your league or division, In 2015, the Pirates appear to be mismatched in the NL Central. 95 of their games are in the NL Central or 2/3 of the schedule. If they continue to struggle within the division, they aren't going to get where they expect to be. I'm not a Billy Bean, so I don't know what they need in the way of hitting or what kind of pitchers they need to be a dominate team in the division, but to date the Pirates don't have the right combination of players that match up .
Not sure how you're arriving at your math there. There are 4 others teams in the division (STL, CIN, MIL, CHC) and we play each 16 times. 16x4=64.
I did dominate the math sections of the SAT and GMAT though, so could just be me

^this. So Norcal, you were on the right track, just needed to take out the Pirates. 19 X 4 = 76 divisional games.
That's not true. The Bucs are winning within the Division at a .391 clip. Although, can't complain. With last night's win my record for games attended moved to 16-5, .762.That is not possible. We do not win against teams in our Division. Still, you have never been wrong in this regard so....

Talk to the GLOV. He knows people that will make sure you attend all the rest of the home games this year.
Agree, it is a bit of a concern. I sometimes don't get the backlash against any criticism of their play at times. It's almost as if it's off-limits.
If Happ continues to suck and AJ doesn't make it back by early September, what are the chances that Glasnow could fill in as the 5th starter for the remaining 3-4 weeks of the regular season? I realize he would have to be added to the 40-man roster for that to happen, but I doubt that would be an issue.
