The goal then becomes winning 82 games and ending the streak, and if it comes to that, they are going to be seriously challenged to do so, Twenty-eight games left to play, and they now need to go in those games. If you told me a month ago that winning a minimum of 82 games would be a challenge for this team, I’d have said you were crazy, but, now, well, I’m the one saying it.. Actually that is only correct if one take a parochial American view. Plenty of soccer leagues around the world do just that for the World Cup every four years.
So, could this 2021 team be as bad as the 2010 Pirates?

This is a story of mammouth proportions involving a heinous crime, a possible coverup, a major university and one of the most famous and venerable athletic personalities in the country. This story made local and national media hail the Pirates as visionaries for finding the next great advantage that all small-revenue teams must exploit. ” email from Kyle Stark painted him as a crazy loon. Dejan Kovacevic rode the story into the ground while he was on his campaign to embarrass Neal Huntington and shame Bob Nutting into action.
