So, Fox Sports Net voted the Pittsburgh Pirates the worst sports franchise among the four major sports.  What do you fans think of this?  Apparently the Pirates have not had a winning season in 15 years; but honestly, their years of winning during the Bonds and Bonilla era is probably more impressive than, say, the last 20 years of existence for the LA Clippers or Detroit Lions.  In any case, good luck this season, because you play in a hard division!

P.S.  I'm a Steelers fan, so I want you to win!

I think, sadly, it's quite true.  We are the best farm system in baseball bc we simply let the young guys play until they begin to approach their prime before we ship them off somewhere a bit more...  Relevant.  I hate being a bucs fan, but being a fan is like being in love- you just cant help who you fall for. 

Sometimes it's a self-centered, cheating, prostitute who sells your television for crack money after you propose marriage.  Such is the case of being a Pirates fan.  Now, being a, say, Yankee fan is like marrying a rich guy that youre not really in love w/ but you know you'll always be safe from tough times due to those deep pockets.

Now, I have a question for anybody who may or may not be reading this and may or may not be a bucs fan;

WHY IS THE BLOODY HELL ISNT MARK CUBAN OUR OWNER LIKE HE WANTED TO BE????

Sweet relief!  The guy wouldve turned us into the NL's Yankees; just pour money into the team far beyond the rewards of what he'd make back for the sheer pleasure of laughing in the faces of the four baseball fatcat hogs that buy whatever the Hell they want whenever the HEll they want- NY Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers.  Can you imagine if Pirates was one of those names on that list of hated "overdogs"?  Anybody who still roots for them deserves as much.  I feel like I do, dammit!

If you go just by recent history, then the Pirates probably are the worst franchise.  They have had no plan for 15 years.  New management is in place that IMO will reverse their history of making completely idiotic moves.  It's hard to take being called the worst franchise and I'd agree that the Detroit Lions, LA Clippers, or Atlanta Hawks are the worst, but it'd be splitting hairs.  They all stink.

The previous 100 years of Pirates baseball was not like the last 15 as their 5 World Championchips show, but in todays world of  "What have you done lately?".  For the Pirates the answer is "nothing".

LETS GO BUCS!
