The Pittsburgh Pirates have started the 2011-2012 MLB season 1-0. To make things even better the game was won off of a Niel Walker Grand Slam. Walker is a Pittsburgh native from the suburb Pine Richland, a township right next to my own.
The only thing we Pirate fans have is hope. The beginning of every season brings along thoughts of maybe. While this wonderful 1.000 record is enjoyed and is sure to fall. .500 would suffice at seasons end . Maybe dreams become reality this season.
As long as they prevent one of their typical breakdowns when they lose about 10 in a row, I think they have a shot at .500
ReplyDeleteThe Pirates have some good talent but it seems every year they start the season doing half way descent then they find a way to screw it up. This year hopefully will be different. If a team going 20 straight years of losing seasons then you have to look at management.
