The same amount of wins as last year will not go well for Shelton. His days as Pirates manager are numbered.
It is going to difficult to difficult to match last years win total. BTW, the way the pitching has ben the second
half of the season, why isn't Oscar getting any heat?
Oscar should be on the hot seat. I am at the stage where I don't think it would be bad if the team only won ten more games this year as that could result in a house cleaning. Of course who knows if the next crew will be any better.
We have been down this road numerous times. With the present ownership it just isn't happening

Other than three Wildcard years, the team has been mostly abysmal. The one thing that's been consistent has been the ownership. So it's hard to imagine another crew making it better. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the first three to four years. Then we'll likely start all over again.

Javy or Bobster I'd say it's between them 2. Bucs can only win 9 more games for me.

Thought I'd do the math, or try anyhow: What it will take to win the poll as Bucs sit at 65-73, and 24 games to go. Pretty amazing no one has been eliminated yet! Don't ask me about any cancelled games that aren't played out, I'm not in charge of the poll!

PooperScooper !...89-73....743- 24 wins
GhostOfPitthorn...88-74....748- 22 wins and the tiebreaker or 23 wins
Surgnbuck..........86-76....761-21 or 22 wins and the tiebreaker
mouse..............86-76.....738-21 or 22 wins and the tiebreaker
UtahPirate2....... 85-77....732-20 wins and the tiebreaker
fjk090852-7........85-77....718-20 wins and the tiebreaker
JollyRoger8........84-78....745-19 wins and the tiebreaker
Dutton..............84-78....712-19 wins and the tiebreaker
Ecbucs .............83-79....730-18 wins
Wildwoodcoach.. 82-80....705-17 wins and the tiebreaker
Possum.............82-80....689-17 wins and the tiebreaker
Osushawn......... 81-81....710-16 wins
SammyKhalifa.....80-82....750- 15 wins and the tiebreaker
jkenn...............80-82....743- 15 wins and the tiebreaker
Doc.................79-83....746- 14 wins
sgrx.................78-84....712- 13 wins
Bobster............ 77-85....715- 12 wins
Javy.................76-86....671- 10 wins and the tiebreaker, or 11 wins
bucs607179........74-88....743- 6-9 wins, 10 wins and the tiebreaker
Carolina Bucco....63-99....701- Five or fewer wins

I'm starting to feel a little concerned. If the Pirates win out (an easy enough task) I will hit my prediction exactly. So now it's up to them, right?

Mouse, regarding the possibility of the Pirates winning out. You have a better chance of becoming a Nun!

They just had to start winning. Stand at 69 at the moment. No way they win only 5 more games. They will surpass 74 wins.

Doc or sgrx I'm thinking.

Bucs at 73 with 6 to play. Not sure how meaningful the games will be for Brewers and Yankees but I bet we win at least 2.

I'm guessing Javy.
