Well, this is a shame. I failed last year to return to the blog to gloat that I had nailed the Pirates win prediction exactly at 61 games. At least somebody in Pittsburgh won.
Close readers will know that last year's result continued a pattern where the most pessimistic Forster most often ends up closest to the real Pirates win total.
This year, the optimism spectrum ranges widely as the Pirates prepare to field a young team with lots of question marks.
