cervelli and cole are dumb, but the pirates are pretty low on my hate list. i kind of feel sorry for them that they're stuck in our division. It goes much deeper than that. We've already rattled off a pretty extensive list, and there is a lot more. Do you not remember them hitting Jake with a pitch in a playoff game? Or Rodriguez going insane? Yeah, but I can't help but like the Pirates. I was pretty close to jumping ship and rooting for them when they had Bonds, between them being good and having family from Pittsburgh. Living in the DC area on and off my whole life, we made the trip up to see the Pirates a lot when visiting relatives, and I'll always have a soft spot for those schmoes.
