The grass is green. The Lonnie Chisenhall Era begins in earnest on opening day in Cincinnati. It's time for the Forsters to predict the Pirates' fortunes for the coming year. Teddy, being the most optimistic last year, predicted 81 wins, and the boys of three rivers summer beat that out by winning 82 games. Due to a meaningless rainout of a late season clash with the Marlins that was not rescheduled, they only lost 79 games for a memorable .509 winning percentage.
This year, Charlie believes the most, and I am back to being the pessimist of the bunch.
In Kyle Crick we trust!
