We're in second place.

Is the division really this bad?

 

I guess so.

[JeffH]

We're competitive within the division!

 

Success!

 

Raises and contract extensions for everybody!

[rawaction]

It's actually worse.

[Balsa]

Wow, Kruk actually came close in his prediction for the Pirates to finish first at the end of May.

Now we're in second to last.

 

Feels a little bit more familiar.

 

Gues what the brain trust of the team is going to do about it?

 

Nothing!! Wheeee!

I'm not very familiar with the Pirates other than they're from Pittsburgh. Who's the ownership group for the team? To me, Pitt seems like a great fan base. Has ownership done anything recently to show interest in winning? I can't remember a competitive Pirate team since the early 90's, correct?

they extorted the public into building them a free stadium and then cut payroll

bonds leaving was the beginning of the end for them. The population and economy of the region is shrinking and has been for some time now. The new stadium is probably the only reason they're still in pitt.

Primanti's sandwiches are the best part!

 

I tried to make one at work the other day and it was good, but not nearly the real thing.

i love how the wacky "NL Central" vs "AL West" team disparity (6 to 4) has seen the Pirates also play the Yankees and White Sox. Yay Interleague Play!
