With a great 2-0 start to the season. The Pittsburgh Pirates seem to been on their way to the post-season and maybe even a world series appearance. What do you think?

I am a Pirate fan but it is too early to say who will be in the post -season but it is nice to see Pittsburgh get off to this 2-0 start. I believe they will be a better team than last year but for post season I believe they are a year or two away before they will challenge for the world Series. They still need a little more growth with some of their players and then I believe they will be a contender.

The Pirates have a promising set of young pitchers in their rotation, and some up-and-comers in their lineup, and having Jason Bay and Adam LaRoche definitely helps...
But they're probably still 2 players away from competing for th world series. And those two players are probably Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell.
I wouldn't get discouraged by 2007. If you guys keep this group of youngsters together, you can probably really compete as early as 2009 with a little help from outside the organization.

"a great 2-0 start to the season...seem to been on their way to the post-season and maybe even a world series..."
Are you serious? 2-0 with 160 games left in the season and you're already saying they are on their way to a World Series. What have you been smoking?

Absolutely not... they are off to a 2-0 start...BUT...let's not start counting all our chickens before they hatch... They were able to take advantage of a problematic bullpen and an offense that hasn't gotten rolling yet in the Astros... BUT, to say they win the World Series is a bit much at this point... Check back again around September...

properly i'm the hugest Royals fan.i do no longer think of the two team is gonna win it next year however the Royals have a considerable possibility interior here few years cuz they are reshaping their minor league gadget so all those gamers would be springing up.With this new GM i think of there will be assorted variations which will help them.i think of he has made some great trades even however he seems to be getting holiday of all my well known gamers yet its for the reliable of the team so thats reliable.properly to answer your question....i think of the Royals have a far greater effective possibility than the Pirates.

Well with only 160 games to go, it looks pretty good.
Are you insane? You can't judge a baseball season by 2 games. And the Pirates do not seem to have what it takes to make the playoffs talent wise.

u have got 2 be kidding me right??!! srry 2 break it 2 you, but the pirates r not gonna win the world series. but there is still hope for next year because the team is young and has a little talent particularly in terms of its pitching. but they still continue to follow a strategy of signing low-cost veterans as opposed to developing younger talent.

Definitely not. Jason Bay is one of the game's fine young stars, but the Pirates need more talent around him to be a good team.
