I was the one who sent Smizik's article (re: Madden) to TBL. Amazing how many other people can't stand the guy...and yet he still gets ratings.
It's an embarassment to Pittsburgh.
I'm sorry but I am sick of all the negative posts on this site about the Pirates. What ever happened to fan loyalty? The Pirates are part of Pittsburgh to just like the Steelers and Penguins. What happens if the Steelers suck this year? You going to dump all over them to? I know being a Pirates fan is fustrating, but we still most support our teams, win or lose.
I picked up a copy of tbt* yesterday and they mentioned your dad in an article about TPC in it Mondesi.
*Tampa Bay Times, it's the local free paper down here that's put out by the St. Pete Times.
If I didn't care about the Pirates, I wouldn't mention them at all. Apathy is worse than negativity for a fan, because that means they've completely lost interest/given up on the team.
There's no MLB team I'd rather see succeed than the Buccos. I grew up idolizing Barry, Bobby Bo, and AVS. But I have to call them as I see them, and I once again see them fighting to stay out of the basement.
Despite all that, there's a major feature that's run for the last month on the site highlighting some of the great Pirate fans and their stories. I would hardly call that negative.
And FYI, I constantly call out the Steelers when necessary. Check back before, during, or after football season.
LLIMH: Thanks for the heads up. Yahoo, The Big Lead, and Sports by Brooks all mentioned it in the last day or so, and there's going to be another story in Golf Digest magazine. It refuses to die!
@thielcats
chill out. This is a comedy site and all Pittsburgh teams receive a healthy dose of "tongue in cheek" criticism.
The Pirates craptasticness has been chronicled on other websites and Raul is merely pointing to those posts.
Trust me he has called out the Steelers on several occasions.
In all honesty, I think the Michaels deal is the best the Pirates have made in a long time. He may be hitting .207 in limited at bats this year (he's a career .280 hitter), but as a Phillies fan I can tell you he's a guy you want on your team. He's a good outfielder, a very good pinch hitter, and is perfect as a platoon guy. He's also awesome in the clutch and I promise he's going to give you a hell of a lot more for the money than all the other garbage the Pirates have collected over the years.
