About the NL Central...

[Jake]

From a piece in the Post Gazette today about the Pirate's upcoming homestand:

 

That's why these nine games against the Astros, Reds and Cubs mean something. Those teams have been spinning their wheels, too. Every team in the National League Central has played 160 games or more since last April 22, and none has a winning record in that time.

 

Not one team in the division has a winning record since last April? Wow!

Hooray for not capitalizing on widespread mediocrity!

[BigSlick]

mediocrity implies some sort of average performance.

 

None of these teams even delivered that, this is just downright BAD.

[Balsa]

Hooray for not capitalizing on widespread mediocrity!

I'll drink to that!

Only consolation every morning after another Cubs loss is seeing the Cards lost too.

 

Weak.

 

I mean, if we have to be in the tank, I'd prefer it be a team like the Brewers or Cincy getting their shot.

I don't want anyone getting a shot. I hate them all.

Here's how bad it really is. We're in third place!

Oh. Haha :oops:

 

When someone says "We're" I assume he means the Cubs. Didn't know we had Pitt fans on this site.

It's ok I thought he meant the Cubs too.

Sorry. Thought the Freddy avatar would give me away. And, I've been here for over 2 years! :-)

I like the sig, but it doesn't really portray the intense pain I assume is associated with being a Bucs fan.

Neither does yours. We shouldn't be talking about pain. :lol:

LOL!

 

I just changed the sig because of your confusion.

 

BTW, In spite of Torres' best effort, we're officially a .500 Baseball team!

Pirates are 6-0 vs. the Astros. Won 2 of 3 last week at St. Louis. Other than that, 2-9 (includes being swept by Cards at home).

There are Pitt fans, Card fans, we've had Astro fans, Boston fans (though that guy hasn't posted in a while), and I think we have a certain section Adam Dunn fans that may qualify as dual Cub/Reds fans....heh.

I think the Red Sox fan was a woman. I don't know what happened to the other Astros fans(I think there were like 3 or 4), but I'd be shocked to see Jimy is a misspell around here ever again.

Wasn't he banned after the "eat me, I told you Clemens is coming back" thread? Shoulda been.

We don't.

 

We have Jake . . . and that's it.

He just hangs out here to see that other fans are just as miserable.

 

/off to find a royals board...

And we're glad to have you.
