The Pirate's "Magic Number"
Stands at four, after tonite's win over the Marlins. Partly from being a Bucco loyalist, but mostly on a whim, I put money (just enough to sting a bit if I lost) on Pittsburgh to win 60 games this year. I was walking past the sports book several months ago after making a semi-memorable score on Mahoning, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
If you follow baseball and gamble, you can imagine the slow-burn pleasure (somehow kicked up by all the impromptu math) of watching the team wobble along the wager's mason dixon line. Like a five month horserace that you just know is going to be close.
Except now that the Pirates have taken 8 of their last 11, my horse has inched ahead, and the wire fast approaches.
Beat 'em Bucs!!
