.500 or a little above! Is that too much to ask!

Please Pirates, end my long suffering so I can enjoy and care about baseball again!

But wouldn't it suck to go a game over .500 and lose the only record we're able to hold?
It's a shame the Succos can't field a decent club. The facilities are incredible and a day at PNC is always a huge treat. They have everything in place, including an awesome town.
Heck, thay can even field a competitive team in Cleveland and it's a hideous, dead-end, nightmare of a city. It really is sad to have an ownership group that cares that little about baseball. It's never stopped going downhill since we lost Smokestack Leyland.

Many false promises is all I can say about them. I remember hearing all the blah, blah, blah from Kevin McClatchy about how he would field a winning team by the time that PNC park was built just to run the team into the ground even further and just keep padding his pockets. Until they get ownership that really cares about a winning organization again and wants to put some more money into the club it is going to be much of the same recent Succos. I don't know if Robert Nutting is the right guy or not. They have shown some recent spark in willingness to pay and keep some talent but only time will tell...

Even though they're losers, they're lovable losers. We've always had good guys who love the fans and love hanging out with them. If that goes away to have a playoff quality team, I'd rather keep losing.

That sounds like something losers say!
