3. Oh okay ReliantJ/madinmaryland
:eyes:

Madinmaryland, if you're going to use a sockpuppet, at least don't make it so obvious by asking about your baseball team.

That is, if the Pirates are technically considered a baseball team.

20. Ok, Upton. Pittsburgh takes pride in being the minor league farm team
for the rest of the majors.

2. Interestingly, when Bobby Bonilla left the Pirates he seemed to get
much bigger.

:shrug:

Just sayin!

5. The Pirates have become terminal losers
Every year their starting lineup is not much better than many AAA teams and has been that way since Bonds left....I wonder why the people of Pittsburgh put up with it.

29. Acceptance
Denial
"It's fine. We can win without Bonds and Bonilla." - 1993

Anger
"Damn small market team BS. We need a salary cap!" - 1994

Bargaining
"Just give us a new Park. If only we had a new Baseball park we could be competitive!" - 2000

Depression
"Why bother anymore if they're just going to trade away players like Giles, Ramirez, and Kendall. Why even watch?" - 2004

Acceptance
"It's nice weather out today. Let's go down to PNC park and watch a game. I hear it's fireworks night and could go for a hotdog." - 2008

6. They are not a team
The Oakland A's and the Pirates are the best damn Farm Teams in the game

10. You're not actually puting the Oakland A's in the same
class as the Pittsburgh Pirates are you? lol

Try the Kansas City Royals.

13. I'm a San Francisco 49ers fan.....I'm just saying the A's do
very well, considering they can't keep anybody good.

They had a bad season last year, but come on now.

Don't change the subject to the NFL.

12. You both forgot
the Rangers. Best damn farm team in baseball. So much good talent gets developed in Arlington before Hicks remembers he's too cheap to keep it.

14. Actually the Pirates don't develop talent. They suck at that too.

19. I don't know why the Yankees just don't buy the Pirates and use the whole team as a farm team?

26. Hmmm. The pirates could start a bidding war between the Skanks,
sox, and cboy4's team.

28. Good call
It's easier to tell with guys who have 'before-and-after' photographic evidence. Harder to see with many players like ARod who've been on the juice all along. Manny Ramirez ... does he or doesn't he? He does look like a different guy from his early Cleveland days. It sucks that we have to ask.

30. See also Jim Thome and Sammy Sosa, when they started in baseball they were both rail thin.

23. Quite simply, they gave all of their steroids away to the Giants and Skankees for
future players to be named later.
