2010 Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Preview

2010 Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Primer by Greg Mercer

Once again, I embark on a mission to talk realistically (and perhaps a bit cynically) about what I expect during the 2010 Pittsburgh Pirates season.

Here's the link to the "Bet Against The Pirates" Spreadsheet and Chart - http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aq0v0bsD6EIDdEo5OUw2WFgwRHlMSFBRMklVN...

[mercerboy]

@TheHeyman32 Of course I'll make a 2011 Pirates Preview Video! It'll be up at the end of March.

one of your picks is already wrong, but im not happy about that pick being wrong, (Charlie Morton)

[mercerboy]

@buenaqb12 His BABIP is way over .300 which is not sustainable. I think he will get better. I said he'd figure something out in the 2nd half...so I'm safe until then.

[buenaqb12]

Hey Greg, where is your latest video? i thought you said you were putting up a new video?

[mercerboy]

@buenaqb12 I forgot to set it to be my featured video last night...it's fixed now. Enjoy!

PIRATES WILL WIN 50 GAMES

[styroyou]

The Pirates will always be my favorite MLB team. I am a fan of baseball first though. 2011 will be a better year. No doubt about it. I hope mercer does another video for 11'. Lets Go Bucs.

I think our only hope for competitive baseball in Pittsburgh is a boycott. they built that stadium so they are not going anywhere. Lets starve them out and make the owners sell or even better make them put pressure on MLB to get a salary cap. until then its Pittsburgh baseball who? and MLB what? I dont and wont care. baseball in pittsburgh is headed for 50 losing seasons in a row unless WE do something. We have to push it away before we can get IT back.

[live2win100]

I'm torn. I like your video and I USED to be a huge Pirate fan. I don't know how you do it. How do you still root for and follow this team? I myself have boycotted MLB and the pirates. I wont attend or watch any game until MLB wakes up like the other mayjor sports and gets a salary cap. Our Pens and steelers can compete with the NYGiants, NYJets, NYRangers, and islanders because thier sport has a cap. But the bucs dont come close to competing with NY in baseball...

Atleast you guys have a really nice ballpark with a beautiful view...

I LOVE LASTINGS MILLADGE

[Grapes428]

Well I love to love this team but I just can't deal with it anymore with all the guys they let go over the years. You know between 2000 and 2003, this team had a Top 10 farm system in the majors every year. They had decent ball players that you would love to have on your team.

I mean they couldn't hang onto let's see, Brian Giles, Aramis Ramirez, Pokey Reese, Kris Benson, Kip Wells, Jason Bay, Xavier Nady, Freddie Sanchez, Adam Laroche, Nate McLouth, Jack Wilson.

[hannan1333]

@threedaysawesome wait wait wait so mclouth is better than mcuttchen wilson is doing real good in triple A sanches is hurt again adam larouche suks soooooooo badly wat about tabata, and alveraz jason bay went from team to team and now is in triple a again so ya nice line up
