The Bucs remain mind-numbingly, improbably bad, with an 8-20 record. If they can go 22-10 in the next 32, they match last year's accomplishment of 30-30 after 60.
I like seeing the Pirates play the Mets because historically, I think, we always whup up on the Mets, even when we are bad and they are good. That's how I remember it at least. We have Ian Snell; they have Pedro Martinez. Seven o'clock eastern. If the Pirates trail after one inning, I turn the game off.
This is a good defense mechanism for Pirates fans to have. 75% or more of the games in which they trail after one go badly in the next eight innings. Discretion is the better part of valor. The fan who runs, lives to cheer another day. The fan who punishes himself, soon finds a new hobby.
