I'm a lifelong Pittsburgh Pirates fan. During my interest with the Buccos, they won World Series in 1960, 1971 and 1979. They were perennial powerhouses in what was then the National League East, now the National League Central. But, barring a miracle of biblical proportions, they will make me and my fellow fans endure a 20th straight season of loosing more games than they won. Under .500 since the George H.W. Bush administration.
Last year was great fun up until the 26th of July when the Pirates lost an epic 19 inning game in Atlanta on one of the worst calls at the plate in Major League history. This year in August, the team fell apart faster than a Chinese motorcycle. The folded like a pair of threes.
And yesterday the owner said there will be no changes of the GM, the manager or anyone else in the front office.
To avoid a 20th straight season of misery, the Pirates must win 5 of their last seven. One game left against the New York Mets, THREE WITH CINCINNATI AND THREE WITH ATLANTA. So, we're doomed!
