PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) — SI.com MLB senior writer Tom Verducci joined Vinnie & Cook for an Opening Day preview on SportsRadio 93-7 The Fan.

Tom is happy that Opening Day is here and he explains why he thinks the Pirates will finish ahead of the Astros in the NL Central.

Tom also tells us why he likes the Oakland A’s to do big things, why Albert Pujols will be wearing a different jersey next year and what this season’s biggest off-field story will be.

eye oh

well you can say that and will see, but i guarantee it’ll be another losing season not breaking .500 to add onto their record string of losing seasons they hold as the longest streak for any professional sport teams of any mlb, nfl, nhl or the nba teams
Nick Manning

pitching sucks they will finish 25 games under 500 this yr

Is this Hack related to pittsburghs original HACK MARTY GRIFFIN ?????
Bob Nutting’s Losing Business Model

if Neal Huntington was allowed to spend $30-40million more for 2 free agent pitcher signings the Pirates would contend now.

In Las Vegas, Houston has 33-1 odds for winning the NL Central, Pirates are 45-1. So the people who are actually wagering their own money on such things believe otherwise.
Mark (glad I’m a Yankee fan)

I think it is a travesty in that the best thing Pirate fans can look forward to this season is that they will not finish last. What ever happened to expecting the home town team to be a contender. Simply outrageous!
