The Pirates finish the month of June agains the American League, which could destroy all hopes of the Buccos breaking .500 this year.
Since interleague play began in 1997, the Pirates are 75-127 against the AL. Part of that can be attributed to Pittsburgh being awful all those years, but they just don't play well against AL teams.
The Pirates are one game below .500 with a three-game set against Baltimore on tap. Pittsburgh will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Bucs defeating the Orioles in the 1971 World Series. If only those guys were still in their prime. The Pirates live for the past, what else have they got, however they always play poorly when something big is going on.
They will drop two out of three and will be two games under .500.
Boston comes in to town Friday, then its on to Toronto. Remember Jose Bautista? He will make the Pirates.
I don't know if this is the beginning of the end for the Pirates, although they should boycott interleague play.
