SO MUCH...

for the winning streak. It is now a distant memory. 3 losses in Milwaukee, which adds to the previous losing streak in Milwaukee makes the grand total of the Milwaukee losing streak to 21. Today I watched most of the doubleheader with the Reds. That was painful. What is the percentage of doubleheaders where a team is swept? It has to be less than 10. Well, the Pirates managed to do it. That stinks.

I can't stand the Reds. I just hope this plan works so they can consistently beat the Reds. I couldn't even name more than a couple of players on their team. Bronson Arroyo and his anti Pirate stance. He is annoying. They might be the nicest guys, they just annoy the heck out of me just because they play for the Reds. It burns me up even more than Kip Wells beat the Pirates in the first game. Why couldn't you win a few for the Pirates here and there Kip. They should have jumped all over him early in the game. But they let him get through that and he just kept getting better and better til they took him out. Geez!

So goes the roller coaster ride this season has brought. Not many ups, the 5 game streak was one and I really can't think of others. There's still hope for next year. There's always hope. Maybe they'll have another winning streak. They better. That disappointing number 82 in the loss column is creaping up.
