The Pirates are down to their final 8 spring training games before they go to Chicago for the season opener on April 1st. The Pirates take on the Astros today, who they are expected to be battling for 5th place in the division with this year. Brian Burres will make the start for the Pirates. Other pitchers and lineups have not been posted yet, but I'll get to those as soon as I get them.
