With last season starting off with two impressive wins over the Dodgers, the Pirates got off to a good start, although they were at home.  Is anyone else a bit worried that Chicago and St. Louis will have us in bad shape before we even have the home opener?  It's no secret this team has struggled on the road, is there even more pressure on Hurdle to make sure we don't open against the Rockies at PNC with a 2-4 or 1-5 record?

I know it's a long season, but I feel like this is a very important although short road trip for this team.  What do you guys think the record will be as we arrive at the home opener?
