The season opener is scheduled for roughly seven days from today, but much remains undetermined for the new-look Pirates. With several key seniors having graduated in 2010, and with multiple players coming back from off-season and pre-season bumps and bruises, the starting line-up and pitching rotation still remains unsettled.

The good news is that there is a sense of team about this new group and that each individual is challenging and pushing the group to work harder, to get better ... and to have fun.

Have a day! Pirate Pride!
