We have more games remaining against the Pirates than any other team (9). Hopefully the Cubs can beat the Pirates AAA team.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's good news for the Cubs. At least for this season.
The Pirates are doing exactly what they should be doing: trading mediocre vets for promising kids. They may be tough in 2012, but till then, hopefully they'll continue to be a doormat.

The problem is that the Pirates do this EVERY year. They've sucked for 20 years. So they get good draft picks every year and then trade them away when they get to be any good.
