It would blow their whole bizarre loser identity to be surround by fans who expect winning and competitiveness from the team. It's kinda like when one of the unpopular kids in school starts hanging out with the cool kids and then his weird little friends want no part of him anymore.<br /><br />Ahhh, I can hear the bitching if the day ever arrives..."You're not a real Pirates fan, you weren't stupid enough to sit here and waste your life and money for decades of hopelessness, lies and worthless baseball". Yup, you're damn right and unlike you, I also wait for the traffic to clear before I cross the street...now pass the beer moron. <br /><br />Pay no mind to the naive, reality challenged masochists who think there is gold at the end of the Nutting rainbow because in the end arguing with logic and facts to the mentally challenged is a pointless, hollow victory.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-32001171184053701202010-04-13T13:50:26.597-04:002010-04-13T13:50:26.597-04:00As a pirate fan, they are truly the most clueless ...As a pirate fan, they are truly the most clueless team in sports when it comes to drafting.

Unless you have previously used ano...@FightinScot,<br /><br />Unless you have previously used another handle, I see you are a relatively new poster. As a result, I have cut you a little slack out of belief you are just a pot stirrer. <br /><br />BUT for you to come on here and start blasting someone for giving up on the Pirates and denegrating the Steelers and Penguins in the process, I have to question whether it is humanly possible to actually type out of one's @$$.<br /><br />At what point did the Steelers suck? Yes, there have been down years, not 17 straight and about 20 of the last 25. 9 of the last 10 have been .500 or better seasons for the Steelers. <br /><br />The Pens struggled mightily for some time financially.Prior to that, they had made the playoffs at least 10 straight seasons.Eventually they were actually losing money, not raking it in hand over fist. They HAD to bring in lower level talent in order to remain solvent. Did they get lucky to get Sid and Geno. Hell effin yes! Anybody who gets that kind of talent is lucky.<br /><br />Haven't the Pirates have been consistenly picking in the top 10 of the draft for the last umpteen years? What exaclty have they done with it? They wouldn't have even drafted a Crosby or Malkin caliber talent if it was avaialable. Have you ever heard of Moskos, Bullington, JJ Davis, and so on? Ok, they bring in Alvarez, congrats for doing your jobs. Last year, they picked a guy that wasn't projected the even go in the first round, but was willing to sign for less money that slotted for his draft number.<br /><br />Ray Shero makes trades to help our team compete for a championship right now, Huntington makes trades to help others compete right now and pray that he can catch lightning in a bottle sometime in the next 5 years. <br /><br />If, in the next 5 years, the Pirates turn around and actually play a meaningful game or a championship series, I will be the first to say I underestimated Opie and the best FO in all of sports. Until then, excuse me if I remain skeptical.BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-18222520726112484602010-04-13T10:33:22.343-04:002010-04-13T10:33:22.343-04:00Corey, the Pirates will gladly take your money whe...Corey, the Pirates will gladly take your money when you jump on their bandwagon some day. Way to be another ignorant prick. Nobody cared about the Steelers when they sucked, and the Penguins only came up with their student rush program when they couldn't get butts in the Igloo. If not for incredible luck getting two of the top three players in the world in two years, the Penguins would still be at the bottom of the NHL like they were five years ago when nobody cared.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-35066039314345907322010-04-13T09:59:53.093-04:002010-04-13T09:59:53.093-04:00if the pirates even TRIED to be competitive, i'...if the pirates even TRIED to be competitive, i'd be a fan....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325780083717650209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-86239085971823796612010-04-13T09:57:53.405-04:002010-04-13T09:57:53.405-04:00I have finally slid over into the apathy column wi...I have finally slid over into the apathy column with this squad. I gave them a chance last week and I could not stomach what I saw. <br /><br />Do not manufacture runs. Do not make even average plays consistently, like a routine throw from third to first. Limited fielding range. Can't keep opposing batter's hits in park. The existence of Hayden Penn. ETC, ETC, ETC.<br /><br />But the future is bright!BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.com
