Can't Buy One

Pirates lost again tonight, same old story, decent offense, terrible pitching. It's tough when you're playing one of the league's best teams in the Texas Rangers, so I expect the pitching to have more success once we get out of interleague play and start playing some teams who don't have very good hitters, but the pitching will probably end the year in the bottom 5 of the league in most major pitching categories.

However, with the offensive producing like it has lately, I expect the Pirates to play well after the break. I can honestly say I won't be surprised to see them have more wins than losses in the 2nd half of this year. It would that eventually the pitching would have to get at least a little bit better, which could be enough to start winning more often.
