    id like to see one more bat myself.

    im goin sunday first game for me this year (burnett v lincecum).

    i do remember an easy home stretch last year at the beginning of august when the bottom fell out for lack of a better word, but i really feel like this team is much better this season and it wont happen again.

    They didn't look anything like this years team. Enjoy the game, what a great stadium.

    yeah, lasdty year they got two bats.

    it didnt help becasue thir pitching stop over achieving and everyone hurt their arms wracking up so many injuries so fast.

    I think they will be aggressively trying to upgrade at SS, 1B, C and maybe another starter. Not a ton of players out there this year though...

    They got good fans
    approx. 20 years of losing, they're starting to fill it up again

    Burnett needs to re-establish himself for his own mental health over the all-star break

    at intertops which is prob not as accurate as the real market, they have +2500 for the Pirates to Win the WS and +1600 to make it to the world series.

    No value at all there... very -ev maybe better at other books

    Pirates to or winning the series is a little premature. Too much baseball left for a team who isn't used to winning.

    I think last year's swoon started the day I left for vacation... around July 30

    this year I leave for vacation on thursday july 27.

    I fully expect them to only win 2-3 times whil i'm gone for 3 weeks...


    but hell if Bedard keeps pitching like he has the last two outings,..... look out!
