The Pirates have not had a winning season since Bonds left. Currently they are tied with the Phillies of 1933-48 for most consecutive losing seasons. At the end of this year, you can truthfully say you are a fan of the worst team, not just in MLB history but in sport's history.

2. Baseball is not a sport. It is a GAME.

Reread the OP. *shakes head*

5. Pitt would have mopped up the floor with UNC

You have not convinced me of their lack of greatness.

Come with something better, child.
