With Steelers football season now well behind us, the time has come to begin focusing on our beloved Battlin' Buccos. Tomorrow is January 18 - exactly one month before pitchers and catchers report to Bradenton, FL to begin 2012 MLB Spring Training. The Pirates are coming off their 19th straight losing season and optimism is high that this will be the year the Bucs get back to the promise land.
