    Before James McDonald headed to the mound for the bottom of the first inning, A.J. Burnett offered his beleaguered teammate two words of advice.

    Have fun.

    "I was talking to myself: 'Why not?" the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher said after halting a string of ineffective starts with six innings of two-hit ball in a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. "Just go out and play instead of making it something much more difficult than what it is."
