Thank goodness for the Cubs. The Pirates have a 9-3 record against the Cubbies this season after Wednesday's 2-0 victory at Wrigley Field. Unfortunately, the Bucs are 18-48 if you take away their record the Cubs. That's bad. That's a .273 winning percentage. That's a 50-win season. So, again, a big round of applause for the Cubs. Without them, this season would be one for the record books -- for all the wrong reasons. It's too bad there are only three games left against the Cubs.
My take on what's happening on the Pittsburgh sports scene and beyond.
