pittsburgh: Yes, I know, it is sad, but I am a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, despite the fact that they have been terrible since I was in middle school. Any guesses on how many games they will win this year? Any hope soon for the Buccos?|||Even as optimistic as I am, I do not look for the Pirates to win much more than 75 games. The only way they even get near .500 this year is IF their pitching staff does a remarkable turnaround from last year. You can expect some improvement now that Joe Kerrigan is the pitching coach. Also, the Bucs must still add a right-handed power bat,one good experienced pitcher and bench help. They now have at least 4 players to build around (McLouth, Doumit, Maholm and Capps), but still are a year or two away from being competitive.|||The Pirates might win 75-80 if they get all their players to work together and use the prospects they got from the Red Sox, and Dodgers, and I know for a fact that Brandon Moss is a great hitter, since I'm a Redsox fan I respect the Pirates for the players that came from their, namely Bay, Nady, and McClouth( sorry if I get his name wrong)...You Pittsburg fans have a shot in being Competitive in ur division if the team can pull a miracle in their pen and rotation...|||60 - 65 and no, there's no hope in the near future. There's no hope for a lot of teams until something is done about the gap in payrolls. Don't get too excited about the "feel good" teams like Tampa Bay. Remember, Colorado was a World Series contender two years ago, and where are they now? It's too bad, because I can remember when the Bucs were a good team. That's going way back into the late 80s and early 90s.|||maybe 65 I have no disrespect for your team but why do they constatly remove yound talent? they always start to build up and then your GM gives someone away. But who knows maybe thell have a rays season and make it to the WS|||Five. Just like their number of world series wins.|||I will say 50 if they are lucky.|||All of them that they have the higher score in.|||around 70-75.|||maybe 75-80 games|||about 60 maybe|||they will go 79 - 83|||About 2 go phills hahahaah pirates suck so bad
