As it stands this morning, the Pittsburgh Pirates are percentage points ahead of the Houston Astros record-wise, keeping the Bucs out of the NL Central division cellar. When all's said and done, though, will the Pirates finish in last place, or will it be Houston?

Looks like the answer to that question is yes.

The Bucs have lost 7 straight games and, at 66-88, are in the cellar, two games behind the Astros.

Lefty, how many wins did you expect coming into the season?

70 is a realistic goal at this point.

Well, I'm always optimistic (blindly so).

Every year I like to come in thinking we're good enough to be at least .500. And every year, I come away disappointed.

C'est la vie, I suppose.
