The man, the myth, the Legend
I'm working on a longer put for tonight, but I can't finish it until I get home (I don't actually tote all of my off-season baseball tomes around with me to lab, imagine it or not), so until then please tide yourself over with this post I wrote about Garrett Jones for Walkoff Walk.

How many games will the Pittsburgh Pirates win this year?
Yes, I recognize, 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 when all is said for the Buccos?
Even as Pollyannaish 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 singular 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 A-OK 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.
