    I love the Pirates
    I have no wager on the game, but I love this damn team. They just nip and bite and scratch and claw and hang around until they kick you in the face. Their lineup is awful, 95% of baseball fans couldn't name more than three guys on their roster, their team salary collectively amounts to about what A-Rod makes by himself, yet they just find a way. This is what baseball is supposed to be about.

          that, and the phillies suck and cant put anyone away in a low scoring game. 2 teams that are complete opposites of each other. pirates have heart and can pull out a victory in a close game, whereas phillies are overpaid bums with a bad manager and can't care less

            Other than the fact that they're from Pittsburgh, they're cool as shit.

            Great park for taking in a game, too.

                        I like Marte leading off, Andy Mac is a top 3 MLB outfielder, Neil Walker at second is beyond dependable, Garret Jones is a respected pro, AJ is pitching like he's 27 years old again, Alvarez has scary power, he hit the batters eye the other night in a moon shot, Martin was a good signing behind the plate.........

                        What's not to like about this team?

                          Yeah, but you're a die-hard baseball fan nasher.

                          The casual baseball fan wouldn't know these cats if they punched them in the face.

                              noticed them about a week ago. love their style. but the lineup gets considerebly weaker against lefties in my opinion.

                                  yep nice win for the pirates today.

                                  i know its not technically over but its OVER

                                  pirates about to be 15-0 when leading going into the 8th inning.

                                  the bullpen is invincible

                                      Yeah, all I know is, next time Burnett is pitching against St. Louis, pound the Pirates.

                                      He has owned my Cardinals over the past two years. I don't understand it. It happened again last weekend as well.

                                        I remember after like the first 7 games, their team batting average was way under .200

                                        What a turn around.

                                          Pirates put all of that energy into coming back, then bring in Vin Mazzaro to hold the lead?!?!?

                                            The Pirates were a cash cow early in the year last season as well. It's best to play them early and then fade them late when they realize they aren't going to do anything.
