    I think this year is their best chance to make play-offs in 20 years, if that is saying anything.......

    They are going to get better but I doubt they make the playoffs this year.

    Detroit is a hit or miss team. They could sweep the best team in ball or lose to the Pirates...

    You are right,Detroit sucks, so I guess they can't be used as a measuring stick for progress after all..........

    They are in the worst division in baseball and aren't even on top. Without Cabby, Fielder, and Verlander, they are a AAA squad.

    I just hope they don't trade any prospects in a futile attempt to compete. I'd rather they trade all starters not named McDonald and all relievers. Unload McGhee, jones, Barajas, for free

    right about that
    last time they did, they went the other way in the standings

    but that shouldn't happen twice-should it

    I love Pittsburgh's pitching, but I am not convinced that they will keep scoring runs at their recent clip with their current lineup. And let's be honest, they haven't exactly been facing a Who's Who of the league's best lately.

    yeah the hitting will fade for sure.

    if you look at the first month of the season they were facing ALL the Aces it seemed.

    so this group of scrubs just evens things out now

    Im buying the chances more so then last year. The schedule is pretty weak for a month after the giants. Loads of games vs the cubs astros and 6 against san diego. The last 10 are 4 at the mets then at home vs the reds and braves for 3 each id love to see them make that stretch. Coolstandings has them at around 65% to make the playoffs this year last year at this time it was around 15% i think

    will be interesting what the do before the trade deadline. I admit i'd been half rooting for the pirates to lose in mid june so they could be seller's and punt the season. trading guys like burnett, hanrahan, crilli, cruz, ect could get them a prospect to be the power bat they need in 2014.

    but i've slowly come around to rooting for the owner to open up the wallet and trade for the biigest impact bat the pirates can.
