pirates try to reach .500 tonight; they haven't been at .500 this deep into a season since 2005, when they played .500 ball through game #60. they ended up at 67-95, in last place. the year before that they were at .500 through 46 games, 23-23 --- but still last in the nl central. they were tied with the cards, brewers, and cubs in the loss column at the time . . . . . went on to finish 5th that year, at 72-89.
