<t>Really enjoying watching the World Series this year, but I find myself longing for the Pirates to one day be there. There are a few things in life I want more than the Pirates to get to and win a World Series, but not many.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> But as I watch this, I find myself asking...how ca...

<t>I just don't see how we can trade Andrew McCutchen. And, I say this as a poster who even before his down year was saying that I didn't think we should resign him. A year ago, there was a lot of hand-wringing over whether or not we should offer him a five-year extension, have him play out his care...

<t>Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I have hope. I mean, without hope, why watch? Why be a fan? I honestly don't think we're that far away. I do believe that the rotation needs work...a lot of work. If his last start indicates that he's turned a corner, Glasnow could go a long way towards shoring th...

<t>Wow...never had a post go over the character limit before. Something with the new site? No worries...just curious.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Anyway, I loathed the Liriano trade. But, you can't change the past. What's done is done. I hope they reallocate those funds to improving the big league club. ...

<t>OK...haven't posted on here in forever, but here goes...<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Obviously, this year was disappointing for all. 78-83-1 is way below expectations. That said, I think there is ample reason to be optimistic going into next year. Obviously, the rotation needs work, but I do think the...
