You are half way there Pirates

Pirates, you are officially at the halfway mark of your season. You are currently one game over .500.

Do it again.
Go 41-40.

I'm not saying go win the Division (although the inconsistent Cardinals and Brewers are only 2 games ahead of Pittsburgh in the loss column.)

I'm not saying go win 90 games.

I'm saying finish with a winning record and people stop pointing out that you haven't had a winning season since 1992.

Finish with a winning record and give Pittsburgh fans real hope that better days are around the corner.

It's not asking alot.
It's an 82-80 record.

It's doable.
It's the first step towards a new culture on the team.

Just repeat a slightly better than mediocre first half of the season.
