P2Daily: The Fun of Watching a Rebuilding Team

Maybe it’s just me, but I love following a losing team.

As long as they’re heading in the right direction.

I think the Pittsburgh Pirates are such a team. Technically, at the moment they’re a winning team, with a 5-4 record. They’re universally projected to be a losing team this year, despite the solid start.

The reality is that this won’t be a 5-4 pace team. That’s a pace for 90 wins. Even if you think this team can surprise, that still seems like an unrealistic expectation for the level of surprise.

But that’s season talk.
