exactly, i'm pretty sure the pirates were in first place in June last year
anything can happen in more than a half season of baseball

If you look back on last season, how many folk at this point in the season looked at the Giants as "the" team? Then once the playoffs started and the Giants were down 0-2 to the Reds heading to Cincy, whom would have put money on them to win it all? Outside of their Catcher, whom in the batting order scared anyone? It was there pitching, it shut down the Reds, Cards and Tigers pretty good offense. The Reds key is their pitching. The starters need to stay healthy and continue to roll, we need to get Marshall healthy and the rest of the pen will come along. The playoffs and WS winner is the team that get's hot
I did not take it any way. I agree the bullpen is another major issue. When a healthy Marshall comes back, I believe the bullpen will be much improved. I still believe the number 2 hole is vital to the overall success of this team and that Paul is the best choice available.
