This has to be it. I can’t stress that enough. I am in desperate need of this. My entire life and I have never seen it happen.
The Pirates need to finish .500 or better.
I’m
a realist, not too be mistaken for a pessimist. I see things and have a
mild optimistic outlook on the way they could turn out. That’s what I’m
doing with the Pirates this year. They have me hooked again for the
third year in a row hoping that this is it. I said it two years ago when
they were surging, and they collapsed around the midway point because of a horrible call at home plate (THE
turning point of the season). I said it
last year when 'Cutch had the best month of baseball, and then the Pirates fell apart in July yet again. And now at the start of July of 2013,
here I am again.
