2010 Pittsburgh Pirates’ List of “ifs”

Optimism is once again at high levels for Bucco Fans as the team gets ready to head north. Here is the 2010 list of “ifs” for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as they look to avoid another losing season. There are probably 100s more “ifs”, that we forgot so feel free to share your “if” scenarios. We’re hoping that enough people add, share, and tweet this to generate over 1,000 “ifs” before opening day. We started the list you can add to it. Alright Pirate Fans it’s you’re time to be optimistic.

Here is the official 2010 Pittsburgh Pirate “if” list…

If Octavio Dotel can close
If Jeff Clement can play 1st
If Daniel McCutchen can be a decent 5th Starter
If Garrent Jones can hit 30 HR’s
If Ryan Doumit can stay healthy
If Jeff Clement can hit
If Lastings Milledge hits for power
If we build a new ballpark
If Charlie Morton pitches to his potential
If Akinori Iwamura can field
If Delwyn Young hits like spring training
If Pedro Alvarez gets called up
If we draft Bryce Harper
If a bullpen exists
If the rest of the NL Central falls apart.
If Dukes pitches well
If you retweet this.
If McCutchen goes 20HR/40SB
If Bob Nutting sells the team
If Ross Ohlendorf is the next Roger Clemens.

If all of these things happen then maybe the Pirates could be .500 raise the Jolly Rodger 82 times.
