After this much losing, I don't blame anyone for boycotting and not contributing to line the pockets of irresponsible ownership. On the other side of the coin, if you want to attend, well that's your right too.<br /><br />This isn't like the Rays who as David Price tweeted last night are on the verge of clinching the toughest division in baseball and only had 10,000 fans in attendance. That is truly sad.Kozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745252975054935259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-19628940984459435822010-09-28T10:22:25.400-04:002010-09-28T10:22:25.400-04:00*comes to the Pirates is losing.*comes to the Pirates is losing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-907499689003500572010-09-28T09:33:08.815-04:002010-09-28T09:33:08.815-04:00I feel that REAL fans by definition are the ones t...I feel that REAL fans by definition are the ones that were raised on this team's losing ways, watched them lose for 18-straight years, and are part of that generation that never saw them or were too young to remember them winning.<br /><br />I'll say it again, 18 years. A feat that has never been reached before in terms of consecutive losing seasons in the history of professional sports. If you ask me, it's my birth right to complain about what they do.

And his remarks were brief and rather magnanimous considering his shabby treatment by the station he kept afloat. But he did say "WXDX would rather I not talk about it" so I guess people paid by one station like him or Don aren't supposed to talk about another station.<br /><br />Oh and I'm very pleased to hear about the Pirates attendance. It restores my faith that Pittsburgh does indeed have REAL sports fans. I'm glad the whiners who always post on blogs like this or Smizik's are in the minority and their stupidity is not shared by the rest of the public. I only wish when the Pirates get good that every one of those chronic complainers were banned from ever setting foot in PNC for their disgusting disloyalty to our beloved hometown team.Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455500623143287689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-38488730016063202922010-09-28T00:58:06.278-04:002010-09-28T00:58:06.278-04:00@MJ: Given that Don is paid by the competition, I ...@MJ: Given that Don is paid by the competition, I feel it would be uncouth for him to cover that story. It would seem like one media outlet gloating about the failures of another.
