Pirate fan for over 40 years and this is the first time since the early 1990s that l've been excited. Bucs have an up and coming young team that finally got their key piece in Adam LaRoche. Their young pitchers got an added years experience under their belts and only figure to improve. Still have a solid bullpen and just need a couple more pieces to the puzzle to put together a playoff team. Should finish over .500 for first time since 1992. Go Bucs!!!

Sorry bucco but you are in for another disappointing season; a never ending string of disappointing seasons to follow. The Pirates will never (as in NEVER) be competitive.
Every year the fan-boys come out of the woodwork claiming that the team is better and every April they are already mathematically eliminated from contention.
The sport is dominated by big market teams, deep pockets, and until they do a revenue sharing or salary cap you will perpetually see the Yankees winning the world series every 4 years
A freakin yawn-fest.
Worst part is that since it is always partly cloudy in Allegheny County, n'at you can't even get a good tan at the ball game while reading a decent book.

I'm looking for a 70 win season if they are lucky. They don't seem to keep their talent in town. I wish they would have sold to Mark Cuban.

pirate fans would be smarter to sit down and stay down because your team is horrible
