Let the Futility Begin

Spring is in the air, I don't care what the groundhog says. Yesterday was beautiful, and the Buccos' pitchers and catchers report this week to Bradenton to embark on yet another season of struggle. While some diehards show optimism for this team, as they do every year before the season starts, I'm expecting nothing but the worst from the one thing that's let me down more often than anything else in my life. So with that, I'm gonna have a little contest...pick the date on the calendar when you think the Bucs will clinch their 17th consecutive losing season. It's like those pools people do for pregnant women, guessing when they'll pop. And for shits and giggles, predict what their final record will be.

And the Swami says..

Loss #82 will come on Sunday, September 13th on the road in Houston. Final record will be 68-94. Post your predictions in the comments section.

  1. my other prediction is that the bucs win the garbage nl central with a record of 80-82, surprise the dodgers and phillies in the playoffs, then take the championship in a 7-game grudge match over the royals. minutes after the game i will give stynch the best blow job of his life.

  2. 10 - 60

    1st win comes 3 months into the season then plans for a parking begin. Pittsburgh gets pumped for the Pittsburgh Passion instead.

  3. Seriously, I want nothing more than to be a fair weather fan, having said that I'll dig deep into my childhood when I last remember watching a rats game with my father, 96-66, Im buying a jersey tomorrow, is Van Slyke still a starter?
