It's mid june and I expect the Pirates to be settling into a long, slow but steady decline in their season. In other words, business as usual. Not trying to be critical but just the way I see it. Shame because they have some of the most loyal fans in the league. On the flip side I have a feeling the Brewers are going to be playing relevant games up to the end. The Pirates will take the field here trailing the Brewers by seven games and this is actually where they need to draw a line in the sand. If they want to make a move, well the Brewers will be there on time and ready for them to bring whatever they have under the hood. With Chacin taking the ball and backed by the superior pen I am taking Milwaukee to drive another nail in the Pirates coffin. We all see bull pens implode almost on a daily basis and the stubborn fact is the Pirates pen stinks. Bottom line is I think this number is more than reasonable. I am going Triple here with the Brewers to take care of business in Pittsburgh. 

Okay, we have won ten of the last thirteen featured releases but our approach is the same. It's one game in the dog days of summer fellas. Please play this like any triple, not a nickel more. And as always I am not trying to harp or preach. Totally the opposite, trying to help. One final note of interest. At Pregame as an ongoing gesture of thanks to it's loyal following every time you invest in a purchase on Monday you get 30% off on Tuesday. No strings attached. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to all of us. Enjoy the game.
