Hope springs eternal...but futility has been the reality for the Buccos for the past 18 seasons. They are on an upward trend though. Maybe they will only lose 90 games this year.

They'll probably suck. They don't have anybody in the middle of the order. However, I find it disrespectful how they're saying that Jeff Karstens will likely get demoted to long relief once Charlie Morton is ready. What the heck? He was awesome last year. I think he should be given the ball.

19 seasons.
There is no such thing as hope for Pirate fans. Only masochists.
I don't understand how anyone can watch that filth. I'd rather go watch high school or college ball.

They punch you in the balls repeatedly, and you keep offering them more money....
