Bucs win; have longest win streak in 4 years; one win away from .500

From the PG:
Pirates beat Braves, 5-0, for longest streak in four years

The Bucs are now 18-19. Clearly John Challis' quote was posted on their clubhouse bulletin board and lit a fire. Such a fire that they will actually try to win two games in one day and get back to .500 before nightfall.

In case you missed the quote, Challis was feted by Pens owner Mario Lemieux and Steeler owner Dan Rooney at last night's Pens game, when the following exchange took place:

As John Challis was standing between Mr. Lemieux and Mr. Rooney, he looked at them and said, "Wow. I never thought I'd be talking with two owners of sports teams in the city."

"There's only one missing," Mr. Lemieux said, referring to the Pirates.

John quickly replied, "Yeah, but at least the two winners are here."

We'll see how long that holds true...
