Bucco Fever

[FIRE CHIEF]

I have it. I love it. They will break my heart.

Please -- just pray that they break the sub-500 streak and be happy with that

The sub .500 streak isn't really important to me. I want playoffs, or at least to contend until the end of the year. I don't care if they go say 83-79 and are 10 games back. It would be no different to me if they had a losing record.

Was at the game yesterday - great atmosphere. great win.

36,000+, watched the buccos pound out 14 hits. (thankfully, that made up for 3 errors against a terrible astros squad.)

the crowd was real fired up when hanrahan came out in the 9th. he's been lights out all year - just wondering how long he can keep it up.

I went Wednesday and the crowd was terrible. 18,00.

We'll see what happens with the Cubbies in town.

Can't expect much when the terrible Astros are at the tail end of a series. I'm thinking 25,000+, maybe a bit more tomorrow night.

1 game out. 45 wins. Run differential is even.

last year at this time, the Pirates had 30 wins, were 18 games out, and had a run differential of -190.

37,140 last night.

Impressive.

31,000+ today, following up 39,000+ in the loss last night. 10 sellouts this year - most since the inaugural season.

Enter the AS break 1 game back, with McCutchen and Correia added to the team - first time since 1990 that the Pirates have 3 all-stars.

I was at the game today and the crowd was pretty good for a Sunday. The game was a laugher too. I also caught some serious rays. It was hot.

Since I am bumming it this summer I spent the better part of my day searching for potential trades the Pirates could realistically make.

I came to the conclusion that I want Josh Willingham.
