BUCTOBER!!!

My Pittsburgh Pirates haven't been to the postseason since I was in Kindergarten (I'm 27). No matter what happens tonight, it's surreal to see this go down!

Three Strikes You're Out

Victoria's Secret PINK has such cute sports apparel for women! I picked up this Pittsburgh Pirates shirt from their new MLB 2012 Collection! The Buccos have been terrible for the past two decades (their last winning season was when I was about 6-years-old) but as a Pittsburgh sports fan, you put on the black and gold and support them anyway. The Pirates may not be champions like the Steelers or Penguins but they do have a really nice stadium and lots of fun tailgates- and who can complain about the fireworks? Take me out to the ball game!

Quoteworthy

"In truth, I never wanted to be a dancer. My whole ambition was to play shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, I did become 14 and I did discover girls. And I did discover that the girls like the fellas who were good dancers... You dance love and you dance joy and you dance dreams. And I know if I can make you smile by jumping over a couple of couches or running through a rain storm, then I'll be very glad to be a song and dance man. And I won't worry that the Pittsburgh Pirates lost a hell of a shortstop."
-Gene Kelly, 1912-1996.











*It's a rainy day in Pittsburgh which made me think of Gene Kelly. I think he was so handsome! He would have been 100-years-old this August.

Hitler Is a Pirates Fan

The video below is fucking brilliant! I'm one of the few people who doesn't mind if the Pirates continue to lose. It's normal for me. The team hasn't had a winning season since I was about 6-years-old. It would be comparable to the apocalypse if they were actually contenders for the Pennant. Sure, if the team made it to the playoffs, I'd be the first one on the Bucco bandwagon; but until that time comes, I'm staying ambivalent. I've been fortunate enough to see each of my other sports teams win many championships and respectable titles over the years. We don't want to be greedy now, do we, Pittsburgh? The Pirates can be bad forever as far as I'm concerned. Whether they're below, at, or well above .500, I'll still wear my "P" logo hat with yinzer pride!
