Sixty-nine wins

Good morning. It is August 8th, 2013.

With last night's win, the Pirates are 69-44. Since 1992, the Pirates failed to win 69 games in the following seasons*: 1994, 1995, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

That's nine total seasons. There is more work to be done.

*The strike shortened 1994 and 1995. The '94 Pirates were on pace for 75 wins, but the '95 Pirates were terrible and only on pace for 65 wins.
