Rum Bunter & Center Field Smoke T-Shirt giveaway – “Unfinished Business”

“There’s still work to do” – Andrew McCutchen

When it comes to the 2015 goals of the for the Pittsburgh Pirates, perhaps no one said it best than Andrew McCutchen, the unquestioned leader of the club, as told to Richard Justice of MLB.com   Of course, he is absolutely right. For a team that has taken great strides in the past five years, it is oddly comforting to know that McCutchen is doing his part to keep the team focused on the goals left on the table. Namely, an NL Central championship.

Or heck, even a World Series.

Of course, no goals are attained without hard work. How can the Pirates go about handling their unfinished business? Ask twenty different people, and you may get twenty different answers. Some will point to the need for big years from Pedro Alvarez, Gerrit Cole, and more. Others may point to Josh Harrison repeating his amazing feats of 2014. Still others feel that the team is still 1-2 years away from truly contending. Ask enough Pirate fans and you may even find one or two that feel that the current landscape of major league baseball will never allow a team like the Pirates to truly contend. For the record, they could not be more wrong.
