Pirates Plundering, Not Surrendering

It is good to see the Pirates twelve games over .500 and only two and a half games out of first place in the NL Central. It's even better to see them actually adding a player heading towards the trading deadline instead of dumping players. Although Wandy Rodriguez is not a dominate pitcher he is a veteran that has an ERA under 4.00 and can eat innings. Besides his abilities it seems as if the Astros will eat most of this contract. Its been twenty years since the Pirates have finished over .500 and it looks like history might not repeat itself this year. Good for Pittsburgh.
