Game 140: Pirates 6 Cubs 1

In a game that will merely be a footnote on one of the better days in recent Pirate history, the Pirates did manage to win the game on "The Day Littlefield Was Fired." If I recall correctly, they also won big the day Bonifay was fired, but I suppose that's neither here nor there. Another strong outing from Tom Gorzelanny, another big game from Jack Wilson, and another Pirates' win to avoid loss #80. The win also pulls them even with the Astros for fifth place in the division and now that Littlefield is gone, I'd love to see us not finish in last. Even better about last night's win? The Brewers are back even with the Cubs for first place in the Central. And the sun is shining today and I swear it's a little brighter than it was yesterday.
