I actually had a colleague in North Carolina (home of the third place football and hockey teams where Pittsburgh is 1st and TBD). He accurately and aggrevatingly pointed out, "No matter how obnoxious you get when the Pens and Steelers succeed [I might be a bit of a trash talker], I know deep down you are a Pirates fan and all I have to do is bring them up to make you wince in pain."
So buccos, do it for me. Do it to restore the city of champions. Please, JUST DO IT!
my 90 year old mother has been a fan since before i was born. she took me to forbes field when i was young but she rooted so much i was embarassed(i was very shy back then) she still adores them even if she yells at the t.v.
me? honestly, i get more enjoyment out of the perogi races!
No, Nobody cares about the Pirates. 15 seasons of "nothing happening here, just keep moving along " will do that to most, even some diehard fans. While some tout the power of a long ball hitter in the minors/training camp ( who by the way will be traded as soon as he begins to produce and becomes a fan fav, as has been historically the case ), most know that the current ownership only cares about bucks. No pun intended .
This site is a home, a sanctuary, a fair haven from the fair maidens, for all the male bloggers of the Burghosphere. No membership dues. No secret handshakes. No unnecessary guilt. Just our own little Y-chromosome corner of the web.

Yes, but I wish they were a better team.
Yarr,

Continued the conversation in a new post as this one was quite old.
