ZERO chance they finish below .500. I’d bet 4 digits against that happening

Great. Now I see this

I’d give Pirates a better than 50/50 chance at playoffs. ZERO chance they finish below .500. I’d bet 4 digits against that happening.Iusually agree with JayV, but this is absurd

TBL’s irrational hatred of the Pirates is freaking hilarious. It seriously makes NO sense. This post is more fun if you read it in the “You’re a BIG FAT PHONY!” voice from Family Guy

This article would have made more sense last year when the Pirates’ winning record was built entirely on accidents. This season started the same way: overachieving pitching made up for execrable hitting. About a month and a half ago, things started to change. The pitching came back down to earth a bit and the hitting stopped being total garbage. The Pirates went from being a team in the hunt with a -20 run differential to a first place team with a +30 run differential.

Instead of just being lucky, the Bucs have been lucky AND good for an extended stretch. Last year was an illusion and I knew it was an illusion. If this year is an illusion, I haven’t figured out the trick.

Also Bream is now a low level coach in the Pirates organization. What an asshole.

Still can’t believe he chugged it around those bases and beat out the tag at home from the Bonds’ throw.

I’m late to the party on this. What is the reason to think the Pirates good fortune won’t last??? So, you’re basing their finish on some noob’s opinion at Pregame.com? Plus, you toss in the run differential (currently +32), which I believe was in the negative nos. about 3 weeks ago.

Come on, you got to have some more conviction than that! The guys are playing out their minds, Walker has been solid, McCutchen is, well McCutchen, and AJ Burnett is having a great season and Mcdonald and Karstens are looking to keep the pitching strong.

I’m not saying they’re going to win the World Series or even make it to the NLCS, but you got to like their odds at being the playoff, whoch some sites have them at around 70% to make it the halfway point.

Go Buccos.

Francisco Cabrera, slapping one to left. Sid Bream, rounding third. Barry, just kinda jogging to the ball.
Good times.

Whatever, since the WS win the Braves mattered to baseball just as much as the Pirates. At least the Pirates can draw fans when they’re winning.

Also Bream is now a low level coach in the Pirates organization. What an asshole.

Actually a Red Sox fan J-Mac, and was in fact defending you, which is rare these days as Im sure you’re aware. And while I applaud the joke, but relax.

you don’t have the best track record of efficientlly expressing the humor so don’t act surprised when people don’t get your intention.

Those Tim Wakefield/Steve Avery battles in the playoffs were Earth-shaking.

Flash Gordon may want to have a word or two with Dee’s mom if that “Offerman Jr.” thing catches on

Ha, I forgot that’s his kid. My greatest moment of screaming at opposing players was getting him to almost balk by merely yelling, “Hey, Flash!” from a seat behind homeplate

The last time the Priates were relevant, Tim Wakefield was an awesome rookie. That’s not even a joke. He was like RA Dickey is this year. Except a 20-something rookie.
