Somehow, I missed something with that comment. We have set the record for the worst team record EVER. I could have done with out the mid September comment.

There were maybe 4,000 fans at the game. Game over.....we all left silently. Sad, just plain sad.

The Pirates still had a good run in spite of whatever happened in mid September.

The pitching was superb during the early summer and thats a lot of young arms. They did seem to become tired after the AllStar break but the talent is still there.

And you have some exceptional hitters and fast lil buggers swiping bases.

Seems to me, there is a lot to be proud of and much that can be built on.

It's hard to be proud of loosing two thirds of your games since the all star game. In fact, It was July 25, and we were still in First. I had Hope, I just spent 8 of the past 11 days/nights at the ball park. MISERY! but I went none the less.

This was the year of accountability, remember. Thats what we kept hearing. The GM was resigned to another 4 years. We have the highest strike outs in the league. When it comes to a category of being the worst, Our name will be at the top. Sorry, I rarely complain, I never boo (except for Overbay) I'm sick of loosing.

I know, my Giants made me crazy post the All Star game. Even with injuries. Now they have picked things up and it really is too late. I don't see AZ, Atlanta or the Cards slumping over the next couple of weeks.

The Pirates have a lot of talent and it seem just nuts for them to take the dive they did. But, I think they are building and next year will be a very different story- hope so.

Hey! The first home game (the "opener") in SF is vs. the Pirates!! You and your sweetie ought to come to CA for a vacation around then and we can all go to the series!!! You two can stay with me- that will save $- plus I am just a BART ride from SF and you can take in the sights!! Talk to her about this.

And I promise I won't get bummed if the Pirates beat my guys.

I am living baseball vicariously through this thread.

I have taken the drastic step of blocking off days on my calendar for baseball nites. (that makes no grammatical sense, but it makes sense somehow)

Please carry on. (inserts Baseball IV)

I am a total tech moron, but it would be really fun to do some kind of "conference" viewing with us all during the play offs and the WS. Even though my team will not be in any of these, I think, it is great to share excitement with other baseball fans and help them root for their team.

I've been hearing- rebuilding-next year- and witnessing fire sales for two damn decades. All I wanted was a .500 season.....she says as her damn jolly roger flag is proudly blowing in the wind, and her head is buried in the raised bed garden

The Pirates open at home and go on the road to see
the Giants. A. reminded me a trip was in order (double edged sword) I was going to order a stand up kayak and she was inquiring if I was staying in Pa. again all summer

Yes, stand-up kayak for McCovey Cove!!! I would so love to be out in a kayak again waiting for a home run ball and competing out there to get it!!

Keep the Jolly Roger flying!

Why didn't I think of that.....I'll price shipping it out there.....and we can watch the game out there and listen to it on some cheap radio, in case it gets wet, ya know! That'll be great

My mood is picking up! (we can pack a lunch)
