At the very least, the next time Ben Cherington steps in it by speaking of the Pirates' "progress," he'll have something tangible to cite.
A single stinking game.
That was, of course, the 5-3 pyrrhic victory over the packed-up-for-the-playoffs Cardinals before 15,319 Albert Pujols souvenir chasers on this Wednesday night at PNC Park, one in which a bunch of soft singles and a bigger bunch of rubber-armed relievers stitched together a 62nd success amid 100 failures for the now-closed 2022 season.
So yeah, it's 101 losses to 100.
