Let's Go Bucs!

I know it is early, and I know this might sound a little crazy, but the Pittsburgh Pirates might surprise some people how good they really are. With a core group of guys such as Neil Walker, Andrew McCutchen, Pedro Alveraz, and Jose Tabata, the Pirates have a healthy batting lineup this year and for years to come. The fact that our clean up hitters used to be Ryan Doumit and Garret Jones, and our now batting late in the order is very refreshing to know. For the first time since the Bay, Nady, Mclouth trade, the Pirates may actually be able to generate runs. Also, the additions of Overbay and Correia give us some veterans to help the younger guys develop. Now I am not going to go out there and say this could be the "season" were the Pirates actually win more games than lose them. However, I will say that WITH IMPROVED PITCHING, the Pirates are on the up and up, and I am excited to see how this 2011 season ends up. Also, it is a good sign that the Buccos won there first away series this year considering the fact that they only won four last year. I hope for more "raise the jolly rodgers" and a fun season for all Pirate fans. PS (I really hope we don't trade anyone this year just for stereotypical reasons.)
