They're just indifferent. They prefer football.

A friend of mine from Western PA pretty much told me the same thing Saturday.  Too bad-- they have a nice stadium & rich history.   Whatever happens later in the season, they're doing well now so people ought to support them.

The people in PA loved them in the 70s through the early 90s, I am sure they will come around. They have just gotten used to ignoring the Pirates.

You make Maz and Roberto cry.

Caught part of the Tigers-O's game. Arrieta got rocked :pinch:

Pirates need to make the "P" a bit bigger on their away uniforms.

Wow, the Cubs just wasted a very solid pitching effort by Wood.

The Yinzer bastards have yet to find a bandwagon they don't enjoy the ride on, nor an ability to cheer for a loser.  They are the ultimate fair weather fandom.  :yucky:

Pirates-Reds turned out to be a nice little game.  Perfect weather (rain stopped just in time for warmup) and Reds lose but get the 11 strikeouts needed for all ticketholders to get a free pizza at La Rosa's tomorrow.  Pirates relief pitching is pretty damned good.

Apparently the Pirates have won the last 4 games I've seen them play at GABP, so Syt if you order me a ticket I should be able to make it out tomorrow night :D

Really, what's the point of cheering on some guy who makes more in a year than you do in a lifetime as he heroically manages to win 40% of his games?

You better apologize!

Do you think Lincecum will ever rise back above mediocrity?

Watching the Mariners game I was reminded that Seattle traded Doug Fister for Charlie Furbush.

No repeat for Gigantes if they can't keep anyone healthy.
