From the crucial 10 to next 22

[Coach]

In the 22 games following this huge 10 game set the Pirates will complete today, the team will play 19 games against teams under .500. The only team they play with a winning record comes up this weekend wit Colorado.

After them it is
SF
SD
Cincy
SD
Det
Tor


After that the stretch to end the year is crazy. They play a lot of divisional games and they have series games against LA, Wash, and Balt.

I know that's way out there....but.... just to think about. After this 22 it's only divisional games and those 3 teams.

I'm not setting myself up for disappointment. I said it before, when they were 6, 8 games under .500, when they can get to that figure above .500, then I might start to care a little more.

That hopefully occurs at 12:35 today.

Just take it one game at a time!

Coach, you misunderstood.  Read again.  Not .500, but 6-8 games ABOVE .500.

Manny can be hard to please

JWhat if the division only requires 83 wins and the Pirates win it?  You won't be excited!

Another step in the right direction.
