5-0 Bucs. nothing new we suck. Season just fucking END already, cant we petition Bud Selig to forfeit the rest of our games?

I'm actually finding it hard to root for us to win these games. I love the thought of the Pirates shocking everyone and making a serious run at the division, or at least finishing with a winning record for the first time since Barry Bonds left.

That is exactly how I feel. My whole "me to the Marlins" thing was done out of frustration and immaturity which I thought I had gotten over. Now, as scared as I am knowing how I tend to "curse" teams once I show any interest in them i am actually ROOTING not jumping ship to, the Pirates to do something. i had the same feeling about the Rays in the playoffs in 08 after we got knocked out

I'm with you on that, I'm pulling for the Pirates to do well, but my fandom stays the same.

Cubs blowing hard today, so looks like we'll be keeping the Pirates up at the top of the standings.

HR Derby tomorrow, AS Game Tuesday!

James Russell has had a great year out of the pen quietly.
